This program has opened the doorway for me to the study abroad experience. I was always interested in studying abroad while at Pitt, but my amazing time as a Haller has confirmed this desire. I am now going to consider the plus 3 program, and further down the road I would be interested in finding…

Personal and Professional Development
I grew in many ways, both personally and professionally, during my time participating in the Haller Global Honors Fellowship. In terms of professional development, I’ve determined the various site visits as a key point of this growth. Specifically, the Refillery and Guinness Enterprise Center resonated with me. I was very impressed with the mission of…
Food Cloud and Global Links
Food Cloud was very similar to Global Links. They both distribute goods and services back to communities in need, for free. They also are both focused on the circular economy, through reusing and not letting anything go to waste. They happen to have similar business operations as well, in that they collect their respective products,…

This program has been great practice in how to correctly manage my time….
Croke Park Reflection
The GAA gave a very informative and interesting tour of Croke Park this morning. We were able to see the players’ locker rooms, VIP Lounges, celebratory event space, and of course the field, or as they call it the pitch. A commercial opportunity for the GAA would be to conduct partnerships and deals with other…
The Docklands
Dublin’s docklands seem to be such a great fit for these huge companies for a few reasons. First, many of these companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google are English speaking companies. Dublin uses English as a primary language, but it is also a part of the European Union. Ireland is a very globally oriented…
Credibility and Connections
To establish credibility with Sarah, I have a few goals that need to happen before the final meeting. I would first need to show her a genuine concern and interest in her company. If Sarah does not believe that we care about her company, she will not listen to anything we have to say to…
