Framing Global Leadership and developing Global ConsciousnessThis session introduces students to the concept of “Global Consciousness.” Through activities and discussions, participants will explore how the concept of “Global Consciousness” relates to their own leadership development in the context of a global environment. Furthermore, students will grapple with how they can successfully lead in an environment that promotes “Global Consciousness.”

The Rockefeller Global Leadership Program (RGLP) is a one-term program that seeks to equip sophomore, junior and senior students at Dartmouth College with the skills necessary for global and international leadership. Guest lecturers lead weekly sessions, employing experiential teaching techniques to engage students through hands-on learning of core intercultural competencies. Participants work individually and in small groups throughout the program to develop practical skills applicable to their leadership roles at Dartmouth, internships, projects, and in their respective careers.

Intercultural Developmental Inventory: Assessing Cultural Proficiency

This session provides students with feedback from the IDI, which is the only theory-based assessment of intercultural competence. Unlike other tools that measure separate personal characteristics (e.g., open mindedness, flexibility), the IDI allows RGLP participants to analyze both their individual and the collective group’s progression along a continuum of cross-cultural competence. Since the IDI measures one’s mindset and skillset, students can focus on increasing their intercultural competence both individually and collectively (from how they currently engage cultural differences to how they can more effectively engage diversity). This session will focus on facilitating cooperative conversations and actions directed toward growth and development rather than judgment and resistance.

Cultural Fluency: Understanding 'other' by developing 'self'

This session will teach students the importance of navigating discomfort—the feeling of being uncomfortable with thoughts, interactions and personal bias. In order to do this, students will be tasked with identifying a space on campus that is both new and different to them. Then, students will research and become a part of this space on campus for at least one week. Finally, the students will be asked to journal or creatively report their experience back to the group.

Understanding American Exceptionalism

A simple description of American exceptionalism is that the United States can take any action because it is qualitatively different from other countries and governments. Some have used the view of American exceptionalism to justify that the United States is exempt from following the same social and political rules that other countries follow. As such, this session uses activities, discussions, and reflections to help students better understand the ways in which American exceptionalism has become part of our personal ideologies. Students will

also explore ways to resist exempting themselves from learning about other cultures. This session is designed to help students develop a set of strategies for when they enter a new culture and to identify appropriate behaviors in new settings.

The session is designed to help students objectively examine and analyze American exceptionalism. The students will learn how to appreciate elements of a cultural force without regarding it as exception or supreme. The practical interactive session is designed to allow students to engage with the difficult task of immersing oneself in another culture without the sway of internalized biases of one’s own cultural background. The session is led the
