The birth and growth of the Center for North American
Studies is a telling example of transforming ideas into
action, converting visions into reality.
The original motivation was a combination of discon-
tent and resolution: on the one hand, the dissatisfaction
with traditional instructional practices; on the other hand,
the determination to change it. From the very beginning,
an underlying belief has been ever-present: for a society
in transition like Slovakia, the American experience in doing business, in designing
and implementing various public policies, in problem management, in public debates
on politics, in activating civil society is useful. The strategy to achieve this aimed at
obtaining approval at the University of Economics and simultaneously at building part-
nerships, searching for allies and partners.
Today, the Center offers a comprehensive program where students can think criti-
cally about both accomplishments and problems of contemporary American and Ca-
nadian societies. Thanks
to the international aca-
demic staff, student in-
volvement in instruction
and a primary focus on
interactive education, ap-
plicable knowledge and
case studies, the Center
has become a recognized
educational initiative. Cooperation with the private sector doesn’t only open a door to
talents, but also allows companies to participate in building a knowledge-based econ-
omy fostering progressive trends in schooling. On the other hand, it also provides the
students a chance to benefit from curricula based on real experiences of the corporate
sector.
A project like this lives and breathes with people. We are pleased to introduce to you
a unique collection of faces and actors: stakeholders and
partners, teachers and representatives of companies,
diplomats and students. Without them, the Center would
not prosper; thanks to them, an oasis of creative and in-
novative learning thrives and flourishes.

3. BUSSINESS-ACADEMIC COOPERATION
Opening remarks by Amb. Bútora, Peter Čerešník and
Peter Dovhun, Microsoft Day, March 2011
CNAS is proud to note that as a university-based unit, it has been continuously cre-
ating a fruitful environment for business-academic development in close cooperation
with the American Chamber of Commerce and 14 private businesses and major inter-
national companies located in Bratislava, Slovakia. The education portfolio of CNAS
emphasizes the entrepreneurship spirit. Among the course offerings are: 100 Years
of US Economy through the Eyes of IBM; American Business Culture and Ethics; Hu-
man Resources in American Practice, Interpersonal Managerial Skills: Lenovo Case
Studies, Managing Global Business: Dell Case Studies
as well as Innovation Management in Small Enterprises,
the course that deals exclusively with issues concerning
methods of innovation and innovation-driven business
goals.
U.S. Steel Kosice has al-
ways been actively engaged
with schools and organiza-
tions that contribute to the
education and training of
young people. But thanks to
CNAS, we have been able
to be involved in educating
students on other than metallurgy related topics such as stakeholder relations, external
affairs, governmental relations, business ethics or to discuss the real impact of the global
economic crisis on industry with them. I personally believe that the confrontation of stu-
dents with professionals from real business is not only an excellent idea but an inevitable
part of quality education. Moreover, such confrontation is highly inspiring and eye-opening
for the business people as well. For that reason I’m looking forward to further cooperation
with CNAS and the new projects they will bring to the Slovak university grounds.
Matej Stuška, Manager, Governmental & EU Affairs, U. S. Steel Košice
There can be no discussion about that fact that CNAS
has been a pioneer in terms of bridging traditional acca-
demical knowledge with practical knowledge and know-
how from its partners across Slovakia. With this in mind,
it is clear to see that this model of education is something that students benefit from,
and should be copied by other departments - students should leave universities with
a clear understanding on how theoretical knowledge can and is turned to practical
knowledge in companies, and this is the key strength of the Center. Overall by putting
the theoretical part together with a practice approach you are getting the best of both
worlds. Finally I believe that aligning expectation early on, is key to any long term rela-
tionship, and in a marketing where today´s students will be tomorrows leaders, it is key
to ensure that both sides
have the right expectations
of what can be achieved
and reached.

As a student I appreciated
when professors challenged
students and pushed their lim-
its higher. I honestly believe
that CNAS is doing this - expe-
rienced people offering inside
views from various positions in
the corporate world. It is also a
rewarding feeling for me, when
I see a sparkled interest within
students, who are motivated
to study and explore new
things thanks to CNAS. And
what else can be more valu-
able for a society than edu-
cated and well-rounded young

Learning and development is the key component of HP
culture. We in HP also believe that young well-educated
professionals are future for our company. Therefore the
support of education activities for students is one of pil-
lars of our strategy. The training programs offered under
auspices of CNAS are really this kind of business-aca-
demic cooperation, which attracts companies to be ac-
tively present at university
campus. Being part of the program we recognize both
our responsibility to contribute to better university edu-
cation as well as opportunity to attract students through
sharing real-life experiences at interactive lectures. And
this is really a win-win concept.
Karol Wicklein

We highly appreciate the iniciative of CNAS concerning
work with young university students. Real and interactive
connection between the business and university students
is beneficial for both. It helps students to better under-
stand needs and reality of working life on the other hand
people from business have better overview on the level of
knowledge of young people at universities, their energy,
fresh view on the things and this all could be source of in-
spirational ideas for them. We highly recommended work
with this community and we are looking forward for next
cooperation.

When I ask students: “How does it feel to work for
Google?”, they give immediately positive feedback, none-
theless nobody worked there. CNAS gives students the
chance “to feel” the culture of several companies and test
how theories are applied in the real corporate world. A
priceless experience for both sides!

DELL in an important employer in Slovakia as it keeps
targeting this market for a longer time. That´s why it´s
important for us to contribute to the elevation of the Slo-
vak educational system and trainings of our future em-
ployees, who still sit in classes these days. CNAS brings
more practice into their studies by bridging business with
academia. Students become better prepared, they have
more realistic picture about what´s ahead of them in the
companies. It´s been a pleasure to work with CNAS for
many years as this is a win-win cooperation. Our senior
leaders get to learn a lot as well from the contacts they
establish while lecturing. I strongly advice any company
to follow the same pattern.

CNAS has been and contin-

the American Chamber of Com-
merce in the Slovak Republic. It
is a unique official platform where
businesses can cooperate with
academia by sharing their practi-

from real, hands-on business. It
is always great to see students
eager for this information and it is
great for AmCham to be a partner
in this.

The business-academic
cooperation with CNAS is

exchange. The interaction with students is both stimulat-
ing and beneficial for students as much as for the busi-
ness people participating. Students are presented with
real-life business situations and solutions, helping them
to prepare for their business careers in Slovakia or, if they
choose, abroad.

Entrepreneurship Training Programs
As the Center continuously perceives the lack of entre-
preneurship education and training for students, gradu-
ates and private companies across Slovak universities
programs, it has been aspiring to offer education and
practical workshops to motivate and empower our clients
with hard and soft skills necessary to materialize their
business ideas.
Besides the educational portfolio of accredited courses, in October 2012 CNAS or-
ganized an entrepreneurship training session aimed at students graduating and enter-
ing the labor market in 2013, empowering them with personal branding soft skills
and increasing their chances to become the employee of choice. The session was
delivered in close cooperation with Martin Nielsen of IBM.
We continued the trend and put together two networking sessions in 2013, seeking
answers to some of the most salient issues in acquiring knowledge about hubs and
networks, learning how to use them as well as reflecting
and developing students´ networking skills. Targeted to
fresh graduates, the session was conducted by Elisabeth
Alder of INC Training and Consulting, Ltd. and Julia Itin.
Our flagship service in the area of entrepreneurship
education and training proudly bears the name Kate
Sedgwick Entrepreneurship Training Program. It is
prepared in close cooperation with Telefónica Slovakia
and with the kind support of the Embassy of the United
State of America to the Slovak Republic. Through this
program, CNAS has organized four quarterly training
sessions encompassing almost 80 alumni since De-
cember 2012. Young entrepreneurs and company pro-
fessionals with outstanding ideas and professional skills
often lack proper education and experience, especially in
communication. The two-day intensive program is aimed
at Telefónica high-potentials and start-up community members empowering them with
business and diplomatic etiquette, business communication skills and self-branding
soft-skills training. The aim of the program is that participants are better able to present
their arguments and ideas in a professional manner and are able to establish new pro-
fessional contacts and benefit from existing networks in a self-confident and effective
way. The trainings have been led by professional communication coaches and TEDx
speakers from California - John Bates and Nathan Gold.

Lemonade Day a.k.a. Big Lemon Experience
Have you ever seen the US ambassador, Canadian chargé
d´affaires or Executive Director of the American Chamber or
Commerce selling lemonade to students at the university cam-
pus? No?
That means you missed the Lemonade Day 2012 – an edu-
cational and charity event established by the Center for North
American Studies in coop-
eration with the students of the Department of Commerce
On the occasion of issuing the second printed ver-
sion of our American Letters magazine, Lemonade Day
served as an inspiring platform for students to apply their
managerial and marketing skills with the rather classical
American „start-up“ – a lemonade stand.
The aim of the project was for 3 student teams (each
enriched by one of our
special guests) to com-
pete in selling their own
recipe-based lemonade in
order to raise funds for the
renovation of the habitat of
the Canadian lynx in ZOO
Bratislava.
The entrepreneurship
spirit and students´ dedication brought in 472 EUR that was
entirely donated to the Bratislava ZOO. Event costs were fully
covered by CNAS including 28 kg of lemons, 129 liters of water
and 600 plastic cups.

Our students constitute an integral part of the network.
CNAS was established primarily to provide innovative
education and extracurricular activities to the students of
the University of Economics. As we kept growing in num-
ber of courses and the number of participants, we opened
our academic offerings to any student from around Slo-
vakia as well as foreign students completing a portion of
their studies at Slovak uni-
versities. Their anonymous
feedback is the driving force
behind the improvement of
each course. We work hard
to enhance their effective-
ness on an annual basis,
thanks to students´ com-
mentaries and suggestions
for improvement.
I attended a course last
year, liked it very much.
Different way of thinking,
good friendly communica-
tion with the lecturers and

Canadian Political System
It´s the best subject I had
at the university. This was a
unique opportunity to study
American politics in Slova-
kia.
US Political System
I think it could be in-
teresting to speak about
“academic” issues in a
way of real sense for our
careers.
Interdisciplinary Intro. to

Often students are afraid
of asking questions and
they are generally quiet.
We´re challenged to give
our opinions, to raise ques-
tions differently.

formation was valuable

ages business. However I

The course is an opportunity for me to know some-
thing more about Canada. It’s surprising, but only at the
course I realized I know just a little bit about Canada.
More topics for discussion, practical case studies (not
just one), less theory, more practice.
Canadian Political System
I was interested in learn-
ing about the US political
system, because in my
university in Italy we don´t
have a specific class to
study with a focus on one
political system.
US Political System
I´m satisfied with the level of
interaction between the instructor
and students. The course could
be improved with more samples of
how to use the shown techniques.
Innovation Management in Small
Enterprises
The most useful aspect for me personally is the practi-
cal point of view from the “real world” lecturers and a
chance to present in English. The least useful is to go
through many different tasks; I prefer a smaller number
of case studies that go more into detail.
American Business Culture and Ethics
We have a lot of space
to present our own opin-
ion on the problem.
American Society
I appreciate practical tasks – finding a team project
to help develop a civil society where we were taught
management, communication with partners, planning in
practice. We wrote reports, updates, met people from
the third sector.

professor currently living in Eu-

I appreciate this kind of open dis-
cussion very much! I think it´s been
the best course I enjoyed here in
Bratislava. In the future, the course
could be improved even more by
higher participation of all the stu-
dents in the class. 100 Years of US

Dear friends,
Five and half years is quite a long time in one’s life –
a baby is almost ready to enter school for the first time,
the football world cup could take place twice in this pe-
riod and a university student could finish his education
and proudly step into the job market with a fresh diploma.
The Center for North American Studies has just begun
its 6th academic season as
a university-based education unit aimed at overseeing
area studies of North America and developing business-
academic cooperation. Rather unique to higher educa-
tion systems in Central Europe, it links above-average
students with private businesses, international experts
and academicians via innovative methods in teaching.
During the full five previous years, CNAS courses were
attended by more than 1200 domestic participants and
150 international students partially completing their studies in Slovakia.
The CNAS story is full of twists and turns, but we have always been keen on our
most precious asset – the network. CNAS doesn’t fit into the framework of a traditional
university department with its own teachers, researchers and wide range of compul-
sory courses. So what is it that we do and what makes us special? We’re like a bridge
between two distant places– we cross a deep gap between the world of academia
and the business environment. CNAS puts education right where it is supposed to
be – at the heart of active students. Those students who
think critically, those who want to step aside and who
strive to hone their entrepreneurship spirit and become
the change they want to see in the world. Our business
partners are fully aware of the trend and contribute to
the bridging by their know-how, time and desire to raise
the higher education level in Slovakia. This is no zero-
sum game - while getting closer to each other, both sides

Michal Kovács in a discussion
From Arena to Friendship
And here he enters the arena: …feet tightly fastened in heavy
boots, strong armor protecting the most vulnerable parts of the
body, deadly spear trembling in his hand; through the old shield
and dark helmet one can see only his sharp eyes pinned at his
enemies. He needs to pass them; only then he can think of sur-
viving this quest.
Exchange the heavy boots for a nice pair of leather shoes,
armor for a shiny suit, spear for a thousand pages of memorized knowledge, shield for his
suitcase full of books to support his arguments and the helmet for distinguished glasses that
make him look more intelligent. You are looking at a student entering a seminar room ready to
pass an exam. Another lecturer, another exam that will get him closer to successful comple-
tion of the quest - passing the university.
Unfortunately, I am an extremely dissatisfied person. Fortunately, I’m also blessed with
some can-do spirit. The above mentioned feeling I had at the university made me think of how
we can contribute and introduce a slightly different path in education. One that might perhaps
serve as an addition to traditional learning. Having the extraordinary chance to work with
outstanding people and the support of the university that entrusted young NGO people with
establishing a new university department, I felt obliged to pursue my happiness and make my
Slovak-American dream come true.
We tried to create an environment where a student wouldn’t be eager just to “pass”, but rath-
er to stay committed to - an environment that would offer opportunities, inspiration and friend-
ship. Launching North American Studies allowed us not only to
teach about US and Canadian Economy, Politics, and Culture,
but hopefully helped us to expose the students to the spirit and
way of thinking in this - in its own way - exceptional region. Hav-
ing all this said, the most precious element was the friendship
that I saw slowly emerging from daily interactions between the
lecturers and the students. Friendship that ensured no need for
spears and shields in the seminar room. Friendship that enabled
us to lower power distance,
exchange inspiration, truly
perceive and humbly learn from the students. And if we
can believe in what they say, it was a mutual process.
A long journey is behind us, but an even longer one
is ahead. The Center will need dedicated leaders and
many friends not to stray from its chosen path.
