MGT 581 Global Innovation Seminar: Windmueller Israel Seminar
The Windmueller Israel Seminar is designed to explore challenges in Israel that take place at the fault lines of social justice and how nonprofits have developed creative and innovative ways to meet those challenges. Past trips have explored the intersection of Israel’s high-tech community and innovative NGOs, meeting with leaders like Jonathan Medved, founder and CEO of OurCrowd, and Dyonna Ginsburg, Executive Director of OLAM, to understand how creative problem solving and business principles in the for profit and social enterprise sectors can be put to use in nonprofits. Students in the MAJNM degree track receive a partial scholarship and are required to attend the Seminar for credit, though they must cover their travel expenses. MSOLI and CJOL students may attend the Seminar at their own expense, which is estimated at $3,300. Occasionally, limited scholarships are available for MSOLI and CJOL students to support their participation in the Seminar.
