Global Study

Last semester, I had the amazing opportunity to spend my semester at HEC in Paris, France! Having the ability to study with some of the most brilliant minds and the future business leaders of Europe was a once in a lifetime experience. Not only that, I also made friendships that will last for years to come. And that is what I truly believe was the best part of my study abroad experience.

Global Internships

My 11 Global Impact Program experience led me to India where I worked on improving drinking water for families in rural areas. I got a chance to work with multiple NGOs– non-governmental organizations, looking for ways to improve the situation
