I had the opportunity of a life time studying abroad with Dr. Harrell and 37 fellow MSU Spartans!I assisted in group work that varied in marketing exercises. Competition amongst the group was tough but taught us to apply marketing tactics quickly under pressure situations. The scope of our projects varied by country, but always involved strong leadership from everyone on our teams. Work included applied cultural growth, marketing research and intuitive based knowledge of MKT 300 terminology, in addition to occasional advertising and communication application in professional presentation form.This trip taught me indescribable lessons about myself and where I come from, life/culture around the world, and building friendships along the way. I never fully grasped the American culture and its youth relative to the world until I experienced life in Europe. The architecture and history intertwined in the workplace changed the way in which I envision my future.More importantly, I can share these stories and experiences with life-long friends. The 37 individuals whom I traveled with varied in race and socioeconomic backgrounds and I found myself growing from them and with them all together.Intangibles:- Global adaptability and intercultural communication skills- Multicultural awareness- Problem solving and decision making skills- Increased confidence and global perception- Open-mindedness, positivity and leadershipMKT 491 - Topics in MarketingMKT 415 - International Marketing Management
