Spring Break 2026 Participant
The most rewarding element of the program was the combination of preparation and real-world exposure. The pre-departure sessions helped me develop the skills to engage more intentionally, such as asking thoughtful questions and reflecting on my experiences. Once in London, I was able to apply those skills in real time. This balance made the experience more impactful because I was not just observing, but actively learning and connecting with professionals. It also allowed me to better understand how cross-cultural communication works in practice.

One of the most important things I learned is that you get out of the program what you put into it. It is important to go in with clear goals, be open to new experiences, and actively engage with the people you meet. Asking questions, being curious, and reflecting on what you learn each day can significantly enhance the experience. I also learned that you do not need to have everything figured out beforehand. The program is a great opportunity to explore different interests and perspectives.

I really benefitted from the visits to the different businesses because it helped me get a clearer picture of what I should be looking for in a company that I want to work at and what kind of values I want my future employers to have.
