World Music and Social Change (Culture, Music, Africa & Global) For this exciting project, GLC students selected and analyzed certain musical artists from around the world whose music or personal lives expressed the political, cultural, religious, and/or social issues facing their countries. Mexico - Ohio Exporting & Importing (Business, Communication, Latin America & Southeast Ohio) This was a two-part project. The first part was completed in Guadalajara, Mexico and the second was completed in Athens, Ohio. Working in conjunction with students from Mexico, GLC students assisted various Mexican and American SMEs (small to medium enterprises) with various importing, exporting, marketing, and legal issues. Students had their photo taken with the Governor of the State of Ohio. Kyrgyzstan NGO Project (Non-Governmental, Communication, Central Asia) Students worked entirely online for this project with students from the American University in Kyrgyzstan (AUK). This was the first GLC project to invite a visiting professor from the collaborating university. GLC and AUK students worked with real NGO clients to develop solutions to the organization's problems. The GLC also adopted one of Ohio University's Nonprofit Management classes (POLS 4/590) to help with research and consulting.

Final documents were submitted for inclusion in Harvard University?s Pluralism Project. Embassy of Hungary (Economics, Politics, Government, Eastern Europe) GLC students researched ways in which Hungary may attempt to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from Ohio ? without causing a corresponding loss of jobs in Ohio. This research required students to develop a detailed understanding of, among other things, issues associated with the 2004 Presidential election and the candidates? positions on jobs, the economy, etc. The teams then traveled to Washington D.C. to present their proposals to counselors and other VIPs at the Embassy of the Republic of Hungary.
