Get Started As A Student
Prepare Your Students for a Global Future
Become a Higher Ed Partner Today
At the Open Mindset Project, our vision is to prepare students and recent grads to develop the global mindset they need to succeed in the global workforce. We believe our approach is unique in that it combines online learning content and one-on-one mentorship.
We know that, especially today, higher ed can benefit from additional support. Students need to develop skills critical to succeed in the changing job market and many of these skills can be challenging to teach on campus.
We're excited to announce that we have begun accepting partners for our 2026 spring, summer and fall cohorts. We appreciate that you need to plan and so do we. Space is limited in each cohort, so the sooner you get in touch the better.
We are open to creative ways your institution may want to partner with us; we're doing our best to meet you where you are. Here’s a quick step-by-step to get started.

We are open to creative ways your institution may want to partner with us; we're doing our best to meet you where you are. Here’s a quick step-by-step to get started.
Step 1
If you’re interested, send an email to Open Mindset Project Founder Stacie Berdan Founder@openmindsetproject.org indicating which cohort you're interested in.
Step 2
Stacie will follow up to schedule a meeting to discuss your goals and the process to make it happen. We'll need to sign an MOU, which we know will take some time on your end.
Step 3
A minimum number of ten students is required to form a cohort from your institution. The list of students and their institutional emails must be provided 2 weeks before the start date.
Step 4
Students participate in the semester-long cohort at their own pace, completing the 5-module course and four 1:1 virtual mentoring sessions with their assigned Global Guru.
Step 5
Students fulfill the requirements and are awarded an Open Mindset certificate.
