Group Study Exchange
The Alexandria Club proudly presented our community to a group of businesspeople (representing companies such as Infosys and Hewlett-Packard) visiting from Bangalore, India. The group was able to be here today because of the Rotary Foundation's Group Study Exchange (GSE) program and during this visit to Alexandria they toured KXRA (the 2nd gentleman on the right, Harsha, is a well know radio personality in Bangalore), KSAX, Douglas Machine, Alexandria Technical College, Tastefully Simple, the Minnesota Lakes Maritime Museum and the Runestone Museum. They also enjoyed lunch at Arrowwood's Lake Cafe (thank you to Arrowwood's Chef for specially preparing a 3-course vegetarian meal) with Alexandria Rotarians Coni McKay, Jeff Wild, Craig Mische and Todd Emmons.
The Rotary Foundation’s Group Study Exchange (GSE) program is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for businesspeople and professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the early stages of their careers. The program provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits in paired areas of different countries. For four to six weeks, team members experience the host country's culture and institutions, observe how their vocations are practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.
In a typical four-week tour, applicants participate in five full days of vocational visits, 15 to 20 club presentations, 10 to 15 formal visits and social events, two to three days at the district conference, three to four hours per day of cultural and site tours, and three to four hours per day of free time with host families.
