The International Seidman Mentorship Program (iSMP) was created to address the growing demand for leaders who can navigate and thrive in complex global markets and collaborate across cultures.Through mentorship, students gain professional networking opportunities, and firsthand knowledge of cultural nuances that influence business decisions. 

The inaugural program is set to take place in partnership with Krakow University of Economics (UEK) in Poland, marking the 50-year academic relationship between GVSU and UEK. This first program includes a mentorship exchange trip to Krakow in May 2025. Five GVSU students have been selected to represent the university, West Michigan, and the United States.
