Through these experiences, we had the opportunity to closely witness the challenges taken on by our peers and the dedication of the faculty, which greatly broadened our perspectives. We sincerely hope that the GMP community will continue to grow stronger and remain a place that fosters new global leaders in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 25, 2026, the completion ceremony for the third cohort of the Global Management Program (GMP) was hel [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":15748,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[108],"class_list":["post-15860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-gmp-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15860"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15862,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15860\/revisions\/15862"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/soc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
