“Pur­su­ing Inter­na­tion­al Busi­ness was a hard choice for me. But after 6 semes­ter I have learned that the degree can be used to help oth­ers and the envi­ron­ment — my two great­est pas­sions. Doing this intern­ship with Great Lakes allows me to get my first real expe­ri­ence with the busi­ness side of a com­pa­ny and peek inside every oper­a­tion, not just marketing.”
