MArtindale Student Association

Mar t indale Student Associates Honors Program 2019–20, South Africa The Martindale Center is pleased to announce the publication of Volume 38 of our undergraduate student research journal, Perspectives on Business and Economics , featuring academic articles written by the 2019–20 Martindale Student Associates on issues pertaining to South Africa’s business, economy, and society. The Martindale Student Associ- ates Honors Program provides an opportunity for a select group of Lehigh University students—from all disciplines across Lehigh’s three undergraduate colleges— to explore global business, eco- nomic, and public policy issues outside the scope of classroom study. The students undertake this work in addition to their degree courses out of interest in the coun- try of focus and a desire to chal- lenge themselves academically. The Martindale Center takes each cohort on a fact-gathering trip to Washington, DC, followed by an intensive 12-day research trip to the country of study where they meet and discuss the issues with thought leaders from govern- ment, business, and academia. During the following academic year, the students complete their research, work one-on-one with a faculty mentor, and write up their findings in the form of profession- al-quality journal articles for publi- cation in Martindale’s undergradu- ate research journal, Perspectives on Business and Economics .
