In collaboration with UCLA Anderson’s professional and identity clubs, the Center for Global Management connects students to the global community and partners by organizing lunchtime and dinner conversations with distinguished global leaders. These small gatherings provide unique opportunities for students, in an informal and interactive setting, to hear thoughts and insights on a variety of subjects, including the importance of global perspectives and experience in today's business environment, as well as living, working and conducting business internationally in today’s environment and post COVID-19, and the importance of giving back to the community.
