Grand Valley State University celebrates 50 years of partnership with the Krakow University of Economics (UEK) in Poland! To honor this milestone, the Seidman Mentorship Program (SMP) is launching an international mentorship exchange. GVSU and UEK students will be paired with business professionals in North America and Poland, culminating in an unforgettable trip to Krakow in May 2026.

Our team had the privilege of meeting with Diana R. Lawson, Ph.D., Dean of the Seidman College of Business, to discuss this incredible initiative.

These students need your help to make this journey a reality! With a goal of $7,000 per student to cover travel, housing, meals, and logistics, your support can make all the difference.

Together, let’s empower the next generation of global leaders! #MentorshipMatters #GlobalOpportunities #GVSUToPoland #LeadershipJourney #SMP
