Boston College’s Global Leadership Institute
The Global Leadership Institute at Boston College offers dynamic programming for professionals looking to expand their areas of expertise and meet other like-minded individuals.
Through our custom designed and open enrollment programming, the Global Leadership Institute empowers you to reflect on your career, connect with influential leaders in the field, enhance your skills, and learn cutting edge techniques.
Dublin Campus
Like EMC, Apple, Google, Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and so many others, Boston College chose to make Dublin its European headquarters.
At our beautiful location on St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin, Boston College faculty offer the same high quality academic sessions our participants have come to expect in GLI programs.
Participants in GLI Europe programing will engage in short, weekend programs that are suited for the lives of busy professionals. This intensive program will ensure an efficient and educationally benefical experience.
Programs
We at the Global Leadership Institute are experts at designing custom programs to serve the needs of our students and partner organizations.
We closely follow trends in domestic and global social, political, and economic circumstances to identify ways in which we can help our participants achieve their professional goals. Working across a wide range of industries and businesses, we create engaging programs that connect our participants with leaders both in and out of the classroom.

Guest Speakers at our GC Summit
Emmy Nominated Journalist & Filmmaker at Channel 4
I am also delighted that the Emmy nominated journalist and filmmaker (Shaunagh Connaire) will be our guest speaker and give us a Talk about her career journey.
Shaunagh reports for Channel 4’s critically acclaimed foreign affairs series Unreported World and their flagship show Dispatches. In 2014 she travelled to Sierra Leone and filmed in the epicentre of the deadliest Ebola outbreak ever recorded. The resulting film was nominated for an Emmy award and won the prestigious Columbia DuPont award. Shaunagh also did TEDx talk in 2015 about her experience as the first filmmaker to cover the Ebola crisis.
In 2015 she went undercover into China and worked with LGBT activists to expose clinics who were offering conversion therapy and sometimes even electric shock therapy as a so called cure for homosexuality. In 2016 she was the first ever reporter to make a film in Iran for Unreported World. Shaunagh’s most recent film explores the plight of LGBT refugees who have escaped persecution in Syria and Iraq only to find they’re exposed to the same levels of homophobic abuse in Europe.
Shaunagh has produced and directed for BBC 1, BBC World, CNBC International and regularly produces debates alongside the World Economic Forum in Davos. Shaunagh’s work has been published in the Guardian, the Telegraph, Elle Magazine and The Irish Times. Before pursuing a career in journalism Shaunagh trained as an accountant with KPMG in Ireland.
