Eye-opening Experience
Embarking on the Business & Culture program was an eye-opening experience that has left an indelible mark on my personal and professional growth.
Recognizing the Implications of Culture on the Business World and Beyond!
Growing up with a deep interest in traveling and exploring different countries and traditions, I have often been aware of the importance of culture and the significance of open-mindedness in my adventures and growth.
Culture Barriers Becoming Different Perspectives
I believed I was competent and that I already knew how to deal with cross-cultural situations, yet the more I progressed through the course, the more I was proved wrong.
Transcending My Comfort Zone
Having lived outside my home country, Lebanon, for the majority of my life, I have always been fond of interacting with people from outside of my culture – transcending my comfort zone.
Understanding Culture’s Significance, Meaning, & Influence
Living in two countries, speaking four languages, and traveling worldwide has made me love learning about different cultures and opened my mind to different perspectives. Thus, when I saw the class description for BA 310, I was excited to learn about the MENA region and meet new people virtually.
Embracing and Learning
Before taking BA 310, I thought that having an open mind was key to being culturally competent.
And I Thought I Knew Everything About Culture!
My passion and love for travel have always made me interested in understanding and learning more about cultures.
B&C – Come Together and Collaborate
When I first heard about this program, I was very excited because quarantine was so hard to deal with. I was very happy to apply, and I was over the moon when I got accepted.
Gaining New Perspectives on other Cultures – and My Own
I am a business student at the Libyan International Medical University (LIMU). Being always interested in learning about other cultures, the Business & Culture practicum caught my attention, and I decided to take part in it through BYTE.
Sharing a Song Brings Smiles Across Cultures
When I first heard about the Business &Culture program, I was very excited to join. What I was looking forward to most was being able to interact with people from the other side of the world.
