Evan H.

My future career goal is to work in international business where I can help companies operate and communicate effectively across different cultures. I want to be involved in work that includes global strategy, marketing across different regions, and building long-term partnerships with organizations and professionals around the world. I hope to use my degree to develop a career that allows me to travel, understand different markets, and contribute to companies expanding globally in a responsible and meaningful way

During my time abroad, my top three goals are to become deeply engaged in the local community in Greece, strengthen my cross-cultural communication skills through real hands-on involvement, and build an international network that continues beyond the program. I don’t want to just study abroad; I want to be an active member while I’m there. My goal is to volunteer with local organizations, community projects, student groups, and cultural events in Athens so I can give back, support the local community, and contribute to something meaningful while learning from Greek people directly. I want to learn how businesses operate in Greece, not only from the classroom, but by actually interacting with local businesses, non-profits, students, and community members. By engaging with people who come from different cultural backgrounds and perspectives, I will grow both personally and professionally, and develop adaptability, confidence, and a stronger global mindset. Finally, I aim to form long-lasting connections with professors, students, and professionals abroad that can support future collaboration, mentorship, internship opportunities, and international career development in the future.
