One of the most rewarding elements of the program was meeting with KU alums who live in London. These encounters provided invaluable insights into the professional landscape and offered guidance on navigating life in the city. Their stories and advice inspired me and fueled my ambition to one day return to London to work and live.

I learned that, although my major isn't exactly business-oriented, having a specialization in anything can be beneficial to any company or organization - even if you can't see how that might be. For example, as a creative writing major I wasn't exactly sure what I would get out of our meetings with various companies, but I learned that my overall skills as a writer and a creative can play a significant role in a variety of departments. You don't know where you might fit in unless you make an effort to learn more and make connections.

My favorite part of the program was the opportunity to interact directly with professionals in real-world settings. Being able to visit companies, ask questions, and observe how people work in an international environment made the experience much more meaningful than learning in a classroom alone. I especially appreciated hearing about different career paths and how individuals built their experiences across countries. It helped me see how global perspectives can shape professional growth in a very practical way.
