It’s done. After about three and a half weeks, over a dozen blog posts, and presenting my final project alongside my group, the summer portion of the Haller Global Fellowship Program is over. We did so much in Ireland it felt like it had to have been longer than twelve days. There’s so much to…

It’s only two days until the grand finale of our time here in Ireland on the Haller Global Fellowship Program, and while today was much more calm than most, the activity certainly hasn’t slowed down.  We started today with a tour of the Fanad Head Lighthouse, built in 1817 to prevent devastating shipwrecks upon the…

(Note: due to surprise circumstances, this post is one day late, thought much of it was written yesterday. So, every time I say “today” I am referring to yesterday, the third of August.) It’s been another great two days here in Ireland on the Haller Global Fellowship Program. Both yesterday and this evening we had…

It’s now August, and it feels like the Haller Global Fellowship Program is flying by! The end of today actually marks the halfway point of the Ireland portion of the program. We’ve already been to so many significant natural landmarks in Ireland, so I wanted to reflect on how some of our explorations of Ireland’s…

It’s now my third day in Ireland, and there’s a lot to reflect on about the places we’ve visited. This start of the Ireland section of the Haller Global Fellowship Program is focused on exploring Irish culture before we fully begin our consulting project in Carrigart. So, I wanted to look back on three of…

Hello from Northern Ireland! It’s been a delightful two days here already, and I’ve already been exposed to a great deal of Irish culture and history. After the overnight flight, we drove to Belfast to stay at our hotel for these first few nights. Belfast is a very different city from what I got used…

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,…

This afternoon we in the Haller Global Fellowship Program had the pleasure of meeting with two individuals who can both offer unique new information about business, giving me a glimpse into new career avenues that I hadn’t considered. First, we went to FNB Stadium to meet with Kris Brown, the Director of Promotions and Entertainment…
