We talk a lot about “building a network” specifically with industry professionals but I think we forget that at the end of the day we are all a part of each others network as well. Each time I have gone on this trip, I have loved being able to meet new people within the program and build relationships with them. It is awesome to come back to Allen and feel more connected with my peers— I think this opportunity is truly unique in that sense and is something we should absolutely keep in mind as we graduate and move on to different places and careers.
