Faculty

There are multiple ways for faculty to get involved with the Center for Global Business Studies.

The CGBS sponsors research luncheons for faculty to present early stages of their research for feedback from colleagues, as well as promotes recent international business-oriented publications by Smeal faculty.

The CBGS also serves as an intermediary to connect Smeal faculty seeking research collaborators.

The CGBS provides funding for students to assist Smeal faculty with their international-oriented research. Several CGBS International Research Awards are typically offered each semester. Students receive $1,000 from the CGBS and are expected to complete approximately 50 hours of research. Faculty should submit a request for research support by April 30, 2026 (for Fall 2026 Semester) and November 30, 2026 (for Spring 2027 Semester).
