“I think what makes the International Summer Program at the Desautels Faculty of Management unique and different is the people. I’ve met so many people from other cultural backgrounds, such as Brazil, USA, the UK, Singapore.... What’s also great is the professors. They know how to share their knowledge with you, and each has a very interesting teaching style.”
