Attention SU Students, Alumni and Guests!
September 15 - 21, 2020
Join Seattle University Albers School of Business in the Italian Dolomites for 7 days and 6 nights and as we explore the regions’ magnificent beauty while honing our emotional intelligence skills. This special course offers a unique program comprised of experiential exercises that take leadership development beyond the bounds of the usual classroom setting.
​​ 
The Global Leadership and Social Dynamics Emotional Intelligence Course  is designed to elevate the level of emotional competence among participants and increase their effectiveness in all relationships. The course helps individuals know themselves and their values better, achieve greater clarity of vision, and act in ways that are congruent with their intentions and goals.

​The impact of the experience and leadership skills gained will remain with you long after leaving the alpine meadows!
Pause, Inc. and Hartley McGrath, a Seattle University Adjunct and Affiliate, have been partnering with Albers Business School since 2005 to offer the most memorable and seamless study tours abroad. We offer top logistical support to enable the tour experience to be one of complete immersion for participants where their focus is solely on the magical area they are visiting, the course content, and engaging with local culture.

​If you have questions on either the Dolomites Study Tour or our Italy Study Tour taking place immediately before the Dolomites, submit your info below or contact Hartley McGrath at mcgrahar@seattleu.edu.
