SMT Leadership Program aims to bridge the gap between theory and praxis for Tibetan monastic and science students by developing and implementing innovative solutions to address the immediate needs of the Tibetan diaspora community.
Participants will gain an understanding of ethics and values based leadership and entrepreneurship, while working in teams consisting of local community members and faculty and students from US universities. The strong service-learning component of this program requires that teams put their model projects into action, whether they are solar solutions to generate electricity and potable water or the creation of a science center to incubate future learning opportunities. Successful projects will have the ability to be scaled up to make greater impacts in the wider community.
