Getting Down to Business in Marseille

At Kedge Business School I am not currently doing an internship through the program. This program is not directly through Pitt and therefore has different functions as well as a different structure. Although, I am still continuing to work virtually for my job at home which has certainly added a need for good time management….

Navigating the Australian Workload

Although there is a stereotype of Australians being laid-back, lying on the beach and barefoot, it couldn’t be further from the truth (well at least during the work week).

In America, everything is go, go, go; the longer and faster you work, the more dedicated and successful you appear. In Florence, the pace and structure is much different. There is no need to…

Ins & Outs of Interning in Italy

In Florence through the CAPA program, I am attending classes as well as completing an internship! I saved most of my gen ed classes for this study abroad experience so that way I can balance the extra hours that I am spending doing an internship, with a lighter course load. My courses include Exploring Florence,…
