The Global Leadership Certificate, which will be offered online beginning September 2021, was established with the goal of empowering people in the workplace “to be catalysts for social reformation, soul healing, and spiritual regeneration.” 

“The Global Leadership Certificate was created as a laboratory to equip professionals for their spiritual calling to be world changers,” shares Erich Baumgartner, director. “It is designed for the marketplace.”

The curriculum consists of five classes taught online over five semesters followed by a “World Changer” capstone event. The set of classes is available as a Professional Leadership Certificate or a Graduate Leadership Certificate for credit that can later be transferred into the Andrews’ MA or doctorate in leadership programs.

Instructors for the certificate are Thom Wolf, a social entrepreneur who has trained hundreds of change makers; Gabriela Phillips, the Adventist-Muslim relations coordinator for the North American Division; Boubakar Sanou, associate professor of cross-cultural leadership at Andrews University; and Erich Baumgartner, director of the Global Leadership Institute and PhD in Leadership program at Andrews University.
