[Chandler, AZ, November 19, 2024] 鈥 Diane Hamilton, former MBA program chair and current associate faculty in the College of Professional Advancement at the University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) has successfully completed her Fulbright Specialist project in Luxembourg. In collaboration with the Luxembourg School of Business (LSB), Hamilton鈥檚 project focused on fostering a culture of curiosity within organizations and empowering students to leverage curiosity for personal branding and career advancement.
During her time in Luxembourg, Hamilton led several impactful sessions and workshops designed to help both executives and students harness the power of curiosity:
- Executive Seminar on Building a Culture of Curiosity: Hamilton facilitated an intensive, one-day seminar for top executives from major global companies based in Luxembourg. The seminar, titled 鈥淗ow to Build a Culture of Curiosity to Overcome Status Quo Thinking,鈥 featured Hamilton鈥檚 Curiosity Code Index, an innovative tool to help leaders identify curiosity barriers and implement strategies for boosting innovation, engagement, and productivity.
- Interactive Student Lectures on Career Positioning: Hamilton conducted three dynamic lectures for undergraduate and graduate students, teaching them how to stand out in the job market by adopting a curiosity-driven approach. Students gained insights into the business value of curiosity and participated in hands-on workshops designed to improve their leadership, marketing, and interpersonal skills. These lectures catered to:
- Bachelor in International Business students
- Master in Management students
- Master in International Finance students
- Collaboration with LSB's Student Services and Executive Education Departments: Hamilton joined a collaborative meeting with LSB鈥檚 departments to discuss potential course offerings, program expansion, and strategies to meet future educational demands.
- Engagement with LSB Co-Founder: In a meeting with LSB Co-Founder Marin Njavro, Hamilton explored the institution鈥檚 mission and potential research and collaboration opportunities that center on curiosity-driven education.
Hamilton鈥檚 efforts and insights gained broader visibility through an interview with Journal Luxembourg, a respected publication that covered her Fulbright experience and the positive impact of her project on both LSB and the local community.
鈥淭his experience has been transformative,鈥 said Hamilton. 鈥淔ulbright offers such a meaningful platform for educators to share knowledge and culture globally. I feel privileged to work with the driven and curious minds at LSB, and I hope more educators discover the profound impact of participating in a program like this.鈥
Awarded by the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, the Fulbright Specialist Award enabled Hamilton鈥檚 cross-cultural initiative, fostering academic collaboration and cultural exchange. Supported by the U.S. government, the Fulbright Specialist Program connects U.S. professionals with institutions in over 160 countries, advancing knowledge, leadership, and cooperation for shared global interests.
