Preparing Students for the World of Business

‘Going Global’ is more than a catchy phrase at the NC State Poole College of Management. It represents a commitment that the college’s leadership team has made to provide students opportunities to learn first-hand how businesses operate in a global marketplace.

“NC State University has a long history of providing resources to help students across campus study abroad,” said Dr. Ira Weiss, Poole College’s dean. “But today’s global business environment means students who aspire to careers in any sector of business or industry need to have some understanding of how businesses operate in other countries and across borders. That requires international experiences that are aligned with the students’ business curriculum and career goals,” he said.

Helping to assure that Poole College’s students are making international study decisions that support these goals is Robert Sandruck, who joined the college in fall 2011 as director of international programs. While based in the college’s undergraduate advising office, Sandruck also provides logistical and other support for students in the college’s Jenkins graduate programs.
