I’ve loved the Haller Global Honors program and I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity. I’ve made memories for life, and I got to explore a new country. This program has shown me that I would love to study abroad again. I’m unsure what this will look like, but I have some ideas. I may do…

Study Abroad
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…
Reflecting on the Program
I thought the most interesting site visit we went on was the one to the Guiness Enterprise Center, an office building and organization that works on empowering startups. Touring the building and meeting start-up founders was fascinating, specifically the animation company that is producing a children’s show in Irish. My professional takeaway is a newfound…

I always thought of myself as someone who would rather work with smaller companies, as I would hate the bureaucracy and long chains of command. However, all of the people that we met at Microsoft were very down…
Last Day Reflection
Throughout this program, I have learned a lot about myself both professionally and personally. In a professional sense, I learned what kind of companies I would want to be a part of. For example, when we had a site visit to Guinness Enterprise Center, we had the opportunity to speak with the CEO of Little…
Food Cloud and Global Links
One way that Food Cloud and Global Links are similar is their method of operation. They both work as distributors making sure that surplus items are delivered to organizations that can use them for good. A difference is that Food Cloud works in the food industry, while Global Links is mostly focused on medical supplies….
