exercises at the East-West Center’s campus in Hawai‘i, in addition to a month of field study in Taipei at the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign
Affairs’ Institute of Diplomacy and International Affairs. The program curriculum includes such topics as applied leadership skills, project
planning, social entrepreneurship and risk analysis, climate change and environmental stewardship, international relations, and public
