Internship spotlight:

Linn Seipel, Fall 2019

"This experience has led me to understand the importance of actually researching the country you're going to interact with. For instance - what are important elements in their culture? How do they prefer doing business? Getting a greater perspective of this was one of my main goals with the entire trip so I am glad to say that I feel that I’ve grasped that way of thinking. Even within the US I’ve seen how much communication styles can differ, and sometimes it’s easy to misunderstand or even judge each other for having different approaches. Having this experience in the back of my head will not only make me more comfortable and confident in business situations. It will also make me more humble and understanding to diversity, something that I find very important as I’m hoping to take on a management position in the future."
