One Incredible Semester…Thanks CEOLI

My experience as an International Consultant has by far been one of the most unique, educational, and incredible opportunities I have participated in this far. As a Sophomore, it can be incredibly difficult to get experience and especially international experience. Working for a nonprofit like CEOLI has taught me so much that I will be…

A Fantastic Finale to an Exciting Experience

Throughout this International Consulting experience, I definitely learned and developed significantly. The primary contributors to this growth were the lessons I learned along the way. This first was that perseverance is key, especially in the face of adversity. Caras Con Causa is an extremely inspiring organization, and learning more about the work they do throughout…

Final Reflection on a Great Project!

Hello everyone! We just presented to our client, Possehl Online Solutions. The presentation went well, and it was a great way to finish off a successful project. Not only were we able to provide sound and solid deliverables to Mr. Alexander Wachter and Possehl Online Solutions, but I was able to learn a lot during…

Concluding Online-Consulting

It is crazy to think that the end of the spring 2021 semester is approaching. It feels like just yesterday when I was first joining zooms and getting to meet all our international clients. This opportunity to participate in an international consulting project during COVID-19 is an experience I could not be more grateful for….

I really hope that NatureSeekers will be able to utilize some of our ideas that we presented. After our presentation Kyle, who has been our main contact…

Another project accomplished!

After the “interesting” experience that the Spring 2021 semester at Pitt offered, it is finally coming to an end. While a lot of changes occurred mentally, physically, socially, and academically, I learned a lot about life that I will hold close to me as I move forward into my final year in Pitt Business. With…

Overcoming the Challenges of Zoom University

Less than two weeks left until the final presentation! This was by far one of the longest projects that I have worked on and to some degree, I have developed some sort of attachment to it.  The effects of COVID-19 reach far beyond individual exposure and health, the world was put to a halt. On…

Redefining Virtual Study Abroad

As we finish up the project and semester, it’s difficult to wrap my mind around the idea that our group truly encountered a once in a lifetime opportunity, when it comes to “virtual study abroad.” While I obviously prefer to not be in a pandemic, and incorporate travel into international programs, it has been extremely…
