\nStudents were thrilled to take part:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like this was very representative of what\u2019s normal at Hult. In my class alone, we\u2019re represented by at least thirty different nations\u2014and we only have a total of 60 people in our cohort,\u201d\u2014Tomaz Nicolai Diaz, US, Master\u2019s in International Business.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen someone asks me about a fun fact, I can now say I was part of a world record attempt! I don\u2019t think everyone has that honor. It\u2019s definitely going on my CV,\u201d\u2014Melanie Buritica, UK, Master\u2019s in International Business. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The record-breaking event took place in a class taught by Hult Professor Chris Kinsville-Heyne, titled The Crisis for Leaders, which focused on crisis management, mitigation, and response. All attendees, which included undergraduate and postgraduate representatives, were required to stay for the entire 45-minute class to meet the requirements of Guinness World Records.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was thrilled to see this wide array of learners in the classroom, as it reflects just what makes Hult special\u2014it\u2019s diversity of cultures and thought,\u201d said Professor Kinsville-Heyne. \u201cDiscussing details in the World Economic Forum’s 2024 Global Risk Report, I challenged students to think beyond limitations and envision ambitious solutions to current global challenges; to dream big and make meaningful contributions as a collective.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hult touts a diverse student body, with 95% of students studying at a campus outside of their home country. The current global class of Hult students includes more than 150 nationalities, with 144 languages spoken and 13% of students with dual nationalities.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe diversity in our classroom opens up a lot of really challenging conversations and helps us navigate how we talk about certain issues, how to find a middle ground or decrease the polarization growing in the world,\u202fas\u202fmentioned in Professor Kinsville-Heyne\u2019s class,\u201d Diaz added. \u201cWhenever you\u2019re surrounded by so many different perspectives, you\u2019re forced to come closer and not focus so much on differences, but similarities.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An independent witness and time tracker were present to ensure rules of record were adhered to. Students were required to show passports to prove their nationality. The event was also ratified by <\/span>an adjudicator from Guinness World Records.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
