" The lessons I learned from our study abroad – particularly in operations management and cross-cultural communications – were particularly helpful as I transitioned to the next part of my summer: an 11-week internship in a German writing instruments factory.... I used many of the cross-cultural communications skills I had learned in May: only one person in my team of eight spoke any English! My German improved dramatically and my internship will help me greatly in obtaining my German minor, along with my BBA."
