Pennsylvania School for   
GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP   
(a former PA Governor’s School)

The Pennsylvania School for Global Entrepreneurship (PSGE) at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA brings American students (ages 16-18) together with international students from all regions of the world for a five-week residential learning experience.

 
Core, Focus Sessions and Field Trips
PSGE students will attend sessions on topics pertaining to entrepreneurship, global networking, team building, project management, leadership and working in a culturally diverse environment.  Sessions are facilitated by Lehigh faculty members as well as entrepreneurs and leaders of the international and local business community.  All students will attend core courses, as well as have the option to select elective courses each week.  Entrepreneurial exchanges with leaders from business, industry, government, education and the non-profit community will be a part of each weekly schedule, as will entrepreneurial excursions to local sites of interest including field trips to New York City, Philadelphia and Harrisburg.

Entrepreneurial Experiences and Team Projects
Working in teams according to skill and interest areas, students are assigned to a real-world company where they will spend Monday afternoons working on a project and problem-solving for that organization. Students prepare a formal marketing or business plan and presentation for the company executives.
 
Global Village Country Presentations
A unique opportunity for program participants is the chance to attend a variety of Global Village Country Presentations and Globalization Session.  These interactive seminars, presented by interns from Iacocca Institute’s Global Village, focus on a particular region of the world and are led by interns from individual countries within the region.  In addition to an informative presentation on what it means to do business in that particular region of the world, participants then enjoy a panel presentation with dialogue and discussion.  The Country Presentations give students a very special opportunity to learn first hand about global entrepreneurship and business from emerging business leaders from those countries.

Residence Life
To support the goal of students living in and creating a community of learners, an extensive plan for programming within the residence halls is in place. Residence Life staff offer a variety of social, cultural and recreational programs and activities to take place in the evenings and during the weekends, to support the curriculum and to encourage interaction among the participants.
