Carlson School (University of Minnesota) and Hitotsubashi students engage in intercultural exchange on campus
On Monday, May 20, a group of 30 juniors and seniors from the Carlson School of Management (CSOM) at the University of Minnesota engaged in various programs with our student leaders, fostering exchange and interaction. University of Minnesota is one of our valued partner institutions with an exchange agreement, and CSOM, in particular, has departmental exchange agreements with our Faculties of Commerce and Economics. The visit was part of CSOM’s short-term study abroad program, which includes a two-week visit to Japan and South Korea. Participants experience and deepen their understanding of intercultural communication that is essential for conducting global business.
