My last blog in Berlin! I can’t believe I am writing this. I feel like I just landed. Well, maybe not JUST landed, but it does not feel like I have been here for 8 weeks. I have gone through some many personal and professional changes. I never understand people when they said that studying…

Making the Most of Berlin
This past week I found myself thinking about how little time I have left in Berlin! It has been increasingly harder to stay in the moment when I know that I now only have 2 weeks in Germany. It is crazy to think “wait this is probably our last time here” when we visit our…
Wait, Have You Heard About the Heat Wave?
Let’s address the elephant in the room. This week was HOT. This might have been the first time I genuinely missed home for more than a couple of minutes because I really could have used some air conditioning this weekend. I was warned that Berlin gets hot, but I was not prepared for this heat…
Pizza, Python, and Public Viewings
After this week, you could technically call me a football fan. Just kidding! I am definitely not the target audience for the world cup, but I can appreciate the love and passion that Germany has for the sport. Throughout Berlin, there are public viewings all over the city, and despite the fact that the game…
Week 4: Working and Wandering
To think I am entering my 5th week in Berlin already is shocking. Week 4 might have been my favorite so far. Being in Berlin is exciting not just because I love this city, but also because I look forward to going to work everyday. My mornings and afternoons at work are just as fun…

Balancing Work and Exploration in Berlin
This week in Berlin was full of incredible moments. I went in for my first day of work, enjoyed some great meals, visited new neighborhoods, and spent some time with my fellow IIP participants. It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t nervous walking into the office for the first time. I may…
Parliament and Pierogies: My First Week in Berlin
I can confidently say that this past week was the fastest of my life! My initial nerves surrounding Berlin and entering a new culture have eased and been replaced with excitement for my first day at HEYL Chem.-pharm. Fabrik GmbH & Co. KG. Thanks to Britta, our contact at Intrax who played a key role in…
Berlin Bound
Hi! My name is Ingrid Kelly, and I am a rising junior at the University of Pittsburgh majoring in Supply Chain Management and Finance. This summer, I will be participating in the International Internship Program in Berlin, Germany. I have always wanted to study abroad, and this opportunity immediately stood out to me as something…
