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.

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.
