As our two weeks in Pittsburgh come to a close, it is bittersweet to know that I’ve learned so much in a matter of little time I had here. I’ve learned to navigate through campus quickly, which hours are the busiest for Starbucks, what food places take panther funds, managing blog prompts/case studies while also…
Looking Back, Looking Ahead
As our time in Pittsburgh comes to a close, it is hard to believe how much has happened over the past two weeks. What began as a whirlwind of orientations, team-building activities, and introductions has transformed into an experience that has challenged me academically, professionally, and personally. Looking back, I realize that this portion of…
So Long, Pittsburgh
Today marks the end of our Pittsburgh portion of the program, and starts our adventure in Ireland. This experience has meant more to me than I ever thought possible. I am confident in a way that only comes from taking a risk. I’ve learned about my future, my limitations, and my dreams. I understand that…
PIT–>DUBLIN
As we close the Pittsburgh portion of this Haller Fellowship, I reflect on the most pivotal moments during the past two weeks. Being very new to the world of business, I found myself learning (and humbled) every single day. My most important takeaway was most likely the fact that I need to be more curious….
Sailing home soon
On the home stretch in Sweden with less than a week left! I’m sad to go, but It will absolutely be nice to head home. This past week I got to go to the Vasa museum, where the previously sunken ship the Vasa is kept. The ship was restored in the 1920’s after sinking in…
Hel-sinking in work
This week was the long-await Helsinki trip! After a (long) boat ride, we got to spend a day wandering around Helsinki and seeing the sights! Although it was (incredibly) expensive there, I had an amazing time looking around, shopping, and generally being a tourist. I have never really considered myself much of a “leader”, but…
Two Perspectives Under the Same Mission: Civic Anchoring!
Today, we spoke with two extremely helpful figures in Pittsburgh’s civic anchoring positions. Specifically, the Riverhounds Director of Promotions and Entertainment, Kris Brown, and Director of Business Development in Allegheny County, Elissa DiNello. Both speakers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with drafting our plans for Carrigart! Kris Brown (not to be confused with pop star…
Vax-holding on
The week of July 6th was a fun one! Me and my roommate got to visit the Paradox Museum and got some super cool pictures to share: The internship company organized a trip to Vaxholm as well – a beautiful little island outside of Stockholm with gorgeous sommarstugar, or Swedish vacation homes! As for my…
Farewell to Pittsburgh, Hello to Ireland!
We’ve come to the end of the Pittsburgh portion of the Haller Global Fellowship Program. Today, the group will be getting on a plane straight to Dublin! As I’ve said many times before, this’ll be my first time out of the country and I’m incredibly excited! There’s been a lot to look back on already,…
