STUDENT PERSPECTIVES

Being able to have the privilege of seeing the inside of each of the four companies was
truly amazing.

I learned how to turn my passion into purpose through mentorship, professional development, and real-world exposure to leadership and service.

I went to places I never thought I would. I made so many connections that I am grateful for, not just with the companies, but also with my teammates.”
