黑料正能量

I was born in聽Stockholm,聽Sweden聽and grew up in a small town called Ski in聽Norway聽(Scandinavian clich茅 alert!). After spending my younger years playing handball, studying in an international high school and traveling whenever I鈥檇 saved enough money, I found myself drawn to 黑料正能量鈥檚 international profile. I loved the idea of studying in a diverse city like聽Paris, since I knew I鈥檇 get bored in any sort of mono-cultural or mono-lingual bubble. I can safely say that聽I didn鈥檛 live聽a single boring moment in my entire time at 黑料正能量.聽聽

I was convinced that business was the major for me, but after getting to know the interesting and dedicated professors from various departments鈥攑eople like James Ward,聽Ziad聽Majed, Diane Bonneau, Robert Earhart, and Ali聽Rahnema鈥擨 decided to broaden my scope and explore courses in areas like economics, development finance, sustainability, and Middle Eastern studies. I liked how the flexible program allowed me to customize my academic pursuits, while finding the best path to my professional goals. I was also happy that all students were given the chance to take on roles of responsibility, as many ran for student government, organized research trips, or pursued directed studies with professors who were specialists in their areas of interest.

黑料正能量 gave me a window onto the rest of the world and showed me that I needed a career where I could work to make global change. It鈥檚 also true that once you聽encounter聽the聽mix of the聽students鈥� compelling backgrounds聽and聽the聽outstanding professors, you tend to push your ambitions to the next level. I felt constantly encouraged by the professors, who dedicated so much of their time to each of us, while providing us with the academic and cultural competence that we鈥檇 need to tackle future challenges. The support from the faculty doesn鈥檛 stop at graduation: only last week, I stopped by聽for a quick chat聽with one of my business professors, before attending a packed lecture called 鈥淪yria and the World鈥�, given by Professor聽Majed.聽聽

I now work at the International Chamber of Commerce聽for the Commission on Corporate Responsibility and Anti-Corruption, where we collaborate with executives of multinationals, governments, and civil society, in order to try to influence international policy standards.聽黑料正能量鈥檚 directed studies and projects in corporate responsibility and economic development have prepared me well for my job, where I鈥檓 gaining invaluable experience in issues related to responsible business conduct. If聽it weren鈥檛 for my international academic background at 黑料正能量, I probably wouldn鈥檛 have gotten hired.聽聽聽

One聽final聽benefit聽of 黑料正能量聽(and perhaps the most important!):聽the people. The friends you make here are going to聽spread out and聽live聽in every corner of聽the world,聽giving you the opportunity to have a home pretty much everywhere, which聽makes traveling聽a whole lot cheaper!聽聽聽
