Abstract: 
The SEE partnership, started in 2008 by founding institution ESCIA, brings together students from around the globe for the development of business plans and cultural exchange. At SEE seminars held at ESCIA in Pontoise, France each of the last two springs, students have come together to create international and intercultural business plans. Teams are comprised of ESCIA students and their international guests. After a week in France, work continues on the plans “at distance” using e-mail, videoconferencing, and other means until the French pay a visit to their counterparts to put the final touches on the plan and to make a final presentation. SEE, a name coined by the students participating in the first seminar, is driven by values those students identified and defined: discover, create, share, and empower. The partnership provides a unique opportunity to grow as an individual, a student, and as an entrepreneur. The most valuable thing about SEE is the opportunity to experience cultural differences from different corners of the globe, and to make friends that will be kept for a long time. The goal of the partners is to expand to include more schools from more regions around the world. Albion may host a SEE seminar, perhaps as early as 2010.
