Project Summary:
- In this GLE project, students from both universities collaborated as a team by working on a group project of a real-world business case analysis in the cross-culture setting. Specifically, two to three students from DePaul University and two to three students from Australian Catholic were put into groups by the instructors.

Feedback:
"It was a great experience to work with the students from Australia and DePaul. My members of the group were understanding with each other situation related with the time zone and final week. We separated the objectives throw each other and manage to be in the same page related to the topic. I would be happy to work again with them. "

"It was exciting to meet new people; it was quite difficult with the time difference to communicate clearly. Even towards the end of the project, agreeing on when to turn it in or going over out sections was difficult because we are so far apart (time wise). Overall, I enjoyed working through the project and learning more about other Countries. There was one person in our group that did not participate within the project but we made it work which was nice."
