This year Darden introduced a new Global Residency location to its fast growing Executive MBA Program. Students traveled to South Africa to explore leadership, business operations, and global economics over the course of a week. Students met with local business leaders in Johannesburg and attended meetings with corporate executives and discussions about the local business practices and infrastructure of South Africa. They analyzed the developing areas of Cape Town and discussed business systems used to combat the social challenges presented.<\/p>\n

The South Africa Residency program additionally allowed students to actively engage with the history of the country. They toured of Nelson Mandela\u2019s home, the Apartheid Museum, and visited Spice Route Destination and Fairview Winery. Through these interactions, students celebrated the diversity of both the country and unique business practices. Take a look at their learning opportunities and adventures below!<\/p>\n
