GDF provides capital, strategy, due diligence, market feasibility documentation, legal counsel, access, and execution services to conceptualize, create, foster and build American style universities in LATAM.
In 2012, GDF Directors conceptualized the first comprehensive American “brick and mortar” university in Mexico, with first phase operations begun in 2017. To date, <$100 m USD has been invested to enable jointly validated degrees in engineering, business, management, computer science, technology and mathematics.
GDF is currently evaluating and facilitating the required partnerships for success in other LATAM sites including two in Mexico (with San Luis Potosi the most advanced) and Peru.
GDF’s goal is to export higher education to students in LATAM based on American and internationally accepted higher standards of rigor, competitiveness and mobility.
The LATAM site campuses will offer more than sixty undergraduate and masters programs, providing local access to global valued higher education.
The primary principle of GDF developed university campuses is serving students with the most qualified faculty and best learning experience possible.
By localizing high quality, high value, globally competitive higher education, GDF campuses remove the geographical, financial, regulatory, social and cultural barriers and transforms lives and communities.
Spillover impacts on adult learners and regional economic dynamics are evident.
The Opportunity NOW:
Honoring the LATAM historical tradition of intellectual innovation yet attending to the imperative of advancing competitive and internationally recognized higher education in today’s global marketplace, Genesis Educational Foundation is launching its two inaugural South American initiatives in Buenos Aires and Brasilia.
- Buenos Aires and Brasilia: the capital cities of the two most important cities of the southern Western Hemisphere whose future will impact the destiny of all people in South America.
- A simple, clear and powerful goal: empower and educate the next generation of change agent, culturally adroit, globally credentialed, academically prepared leaders committed to the bienestar (welfare) of the citizens of their countries and LATAM and engaged at the highest levels in impactful international dialogue on all matters.
- Grounded in the ideals and standards of contemporary higher education, research, teaching and learning, these two campuses, in the dynamic prime capitals of the continent, will put South American higher education on the global stage and prepare students for relevant, meaningful leadership careers.
Successful students, educated at home but by global standards, will make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of their families, communities, and countries.
