At the same time I have discovered a completely different culture and met very interesting people. Although I have only been two months in Shanghai. I feel I have friends there. I cannot wait to come back". D.Molina, UNVERSIDAD DE MADRID CARLOS III, Finance internship program, August 2008

"I am so glad to have been a part of the pioneering global immersion module for MBADiversity. I acquired new skill sets from my internship and learned more about the Chinese culture that I probably would have never experienced otherwise. This unique experience is something I can share with others for years to come. Thank you Next Step Connections!"
