Global Engagements Committee
Since its inception, MDI Gurgaon has had one of the finest student exchange programs in the country, fostering partnerships with universities across almost every continent. This program is paramount in providing students with the opportunity to gain an international perspective on various management fields, thereby preparing them for the globally competitive market.
The Global Engagements Committee (formerly known as the International Relations Committee - IRC) is the student arm of the Global Engagements Office (GEO), supporting and coordinating all international activities at MDI Gurgaon. The committee is responsible for assisting the GEO in the Student Exchange Process for outgoing students. This committee plays a crucial role in facilitating the outgoing student exchange program, overseeing the entire process from open houses and shortlisting to interviews, counselling, and beyond. Acting as a pillar of support, the GEC guides exchange students throughout their journey, assisting them in navigating the complexities of the program.
Furthermore, the GEC is instrumental in ensuring a seamless transition for Incoming Exchange Students from multiple international partner universities. Through initiatives such as the Buddy Program, each incoming student is paired with a current MDI Gurgaon student who serves as their buddy, providing academic and general assistance. The committee acts as an interface for exchange students on campus, helping them connect with Indian culture and ensuring a rich and immersive experience.
Overall, the GEC plays a pivotal role in enriching the Mandevian experience by facilitating both outgoing and incoming student exchange programs. Its ultimate objective is to foster cultural understanding and academic collaboration between MDI Gurgaon and its international partner institutions. Through seamless coordination of the exchange process, the GEC promotes a global mindset among students, exposing them to diverse perspectives and equipping them with the skills to thrive in an interconnected world. By nurturing cross-cultural appreciation and facilitating the exchange of ideas, the committee ensures a transformative experience for all students, enriching their personal growth and academic pursuits.
