CISB Student Leadership
 


Students in the Certificate of International Studies in Business (CISB) Program gain valuable leadership experience through service to the CISB program, the UW Business School, and the community. They organize major events, serve on boards, run meetings, organize outreach, and bring international business speakers to campus. The benefits? Putting business knowledge to work in managing others, monitoring budgets, running meetings, and problem-solving, all with the active support and involvement of faculty and staff. It’s learning by doing, and a host of CISB graduates will attest to its value.

"My involvement in CISB extended my learning outside of the classroom and helped me build networks and hone leadership skills that are so valuable in today's business environment. The experiences that I had were just as instrumental as all the books and lectures in preparing me for my career ahead.
