My favorite part of this program was the time allotted for us students to go out and explore on our own. It created space for us to have new cultural experiences on a very personal level which I think made the trip all the more fruitful. I also appreciate that there were preplanned meals and group events that sort of ensured we were all connected.

My favorite part of this program was the fact that it was a professional trip. It was a realistic trip if you decide to move abroad. You work and then you go do what you want in your freetime. The trip allowed you to learn more about yourself and if living abroad is a true goal for you, for you to see what you would do while you are in the country of your choice. I appreciated mingling with former Jayhawks, because when you travel a lot, oftentimes, there aren't many people who know where you "come from". I appreciated talking with them because ti made me feel that the Jayhawk network is so wide and interested in being open.

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.
