From BE to SF: Cross Cultural Student Experiences

This is now an annual event. A group of Belgian students and their professors spend time with us in JMC during their trip to the Bay Area. They visit tech companies and enjoy the best that SF has to offer. During their visit to our campus our students work with them, helping them brainstorm solutions to a brief they were set earlier in the week. This is where the magic happens - forget the specifics of the brief, it is the cross cultural dialog that makes a difference. The buzz that comes from 117 is tangible!

In this episode I chat to one of our Advertising Majors, Avissa, and one of our visiting students, Artur. We talk about the trip, about the engagement in the classroom, hopes for the future and the key takeaways from the experience.

Just before we recorded I introduced our Belgian colleagues to the best loaded quesadillas for miles .... and they loved it!
