International Impact: The Power of a Global Perspective

This presentation and round table discussion will share each of our respective experiences whilst studying abroad at the University of Winchester in England and how that will help/shape our careers. With the world becoming increasingly more connected and complex every day, it is even more important to know how to communicate and work with people from all ages and areas. In this project, we will go into detail on how this trip was invaluable for the development of our personal and professional communication skills and how it directly influenced our full-time careers and each of our decisions on what was next after graduation.
