May 04, 2020by: Kiyomi J.I’m glad to hear you’ve heard good news about me from the Director because I’ve truly, truly been enjoying this internship! I filmed a video walking through the museum just yesterday. After the internship itself- it’s really, really great!! Thank you again and again for organizing everything!
Working for the newspaper
May 07, 2020by: Gabe MProgram: Journalism/Newspaper (Communication/Media) Internships
The greatest part of working for the newspaper is how many articles I get to write. I submitted four pieces after only two weeks! It’s really fun to research topics in a foreign country and learn about the culture and what is important to people here. This is going to be amazing for my resume.

Participated in 2025
I was inspired to go abroad to gain international exposure and hands-on experience in logistics and supply chain management. Working in a global setting allows me to learn diverse operational practices, adapt to different business cultures, and enhance my professional skills. I wanted to challenge myself with real-world projects, broaden my perspective, and build a strong international network to support my long-term career growth in the global supply chain industry.
