Student Reflections
I felt that BOLD delivered a thorough and exceptionally well-executed introduction to all types of business. I enjoyed getting to learn about each different field from an array of highly accomplished professors, which helped me to certify that I want a degree in business and also to narrow down what I want to do.
The program showed me that I was passionate about business and I wanted to pursue it, which will impact the rest of my life!
I was surrounded by some of the most talented and friendly peers, who had accomplished so much already, with no signs of slowing down…I learned as much from my peers as my professors, as we discussed hometowns, interests, passions, thoughts on global issues, and more. Being able to connect with this many insanely thoughtful and smart young women allowed me to create a network of motivated individuals who I know I can turn to for anything.
