Every year, MBA students at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth travel the world as part of the Bakala TuckGO program.

"Most if not all our students will do international work," she adds.

"In doing so, students will almost certainly encounter unfamiliar ways of building business relationships, communicating information, motivating staff, negotiating deals, to name just a few," Miller says.

"If they are self-aware, open-minded, and adaptable, they can thrive in such environments, and help others to thrive."
