Why did you decide for this school?

Which experiences did you gain during your course of study?
The multicultural experience with professionals with very different backgrounds and the experience of traveling to many different places in the world (China).

Culturally, I learned to understand many different cultures, which gives any professional the advantage of working in multicultural teams. Professionally, it opened great job opportunities in different fields. Today I am working for the Colombian government, designing policies and strategies that will strengthen the logistics performance of the country. It has given me great satisfaction because I feel that I am giving something back to my country, it gives me the chance to participate in strategic projects for the nation, I have met important people from the government and from private companies and it has given me the chance to keep traveling around the world.
Would you recommend the program?
