I have led five MBA student delegations to Asia/Pacific with Global Academic Ventures (GAV) and GAV continues to deliver a first-rate program. Their innovative approach integrates high quality academic instruction with current business practices and relevant government briefings, providing our students with an excellent understanding of doing business in Asia/Pacific. The entire staff of GAV is professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating, ensuring that our students have an exceptional experience from start to finish.

I highly recommend the GAV Spring Break Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program in Sydney, Australia. Our group had a fantastic experience in 2017 and we are signed up to go again during our spring break in 2018. It blends academic instruction, corporate and government briefings, with the cultural drivers that are fundamental in Australia’s business and innovation climate. I have never worked with a group so committed to student success.

I have led three study abroad programs to New Zealand and Australia using the services of GAV. I have been extremely pleased with their level of detail in the planning and execution of our programs. The business visits they planned were excellent and really engaged my students. I can recommend GAV without hesitation.

I have led multiple student delegations to Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia & New Zealand with GAV for many years and I have to say, GAV has provided an outstanding experience for faculty and students every time! Business school students learn the most from company visits, and GAV has helped arrange some of the most amazing company visits over the years, ranging from multinational to local businesses. I cannot think of conducting a study abroad program without GAV’s involvement.
