INTERNATIONAL TRIP TO KENYA:

SPRING 2009

 

"As anyone would expect, our trip to Kenya was incredible. I met amazing people, saw landscapes and animals I’d only ever seen on television and gained perspective only achievable by witnessing others' ways of life first-hand. If this all weren’t enough, I was also able to lend my own insights into the development of theory that was explored while in Kenya. To have my contribution valued the way it was and to see the research to fruition in an exotic locale was an unexpected and extremely rewarding opportunity that I may not have had at a larger university. I owe thanks to Nipissing’s SBE and its faculty for yet another astounding experience."

As an international student from Germany, Nipissing University offered me much more than “merely” an amazing education. On a trip to Kenya in 2007, with one of the School of Business professors and a small group of students, I had the opportunity to work in a challenging environment and meet interesting people from a different culture.  The personal outcomes of an opportunity like this cannot be put into a few sentences. Besides the friendships that were built and the countless humbling moments that we got to experience.  It offered me the opportunity to write a marketing case-study, about one of the projects that we worked on in Kenya.  This case was then admitted into a national conference. Presenting this case in Halifax was an amazing way to end four incredible years at Nipissing!
