Congrats BGIA Fall 2020. We made it through a remote semester and still managed to attend operas, the Met museum, trivia sessions and a Greenwich Village walk. If someone tells you that something can't be done, tell 'em they're wrong. We interned and learned remotely and managed to create connections. Students from American University of Central Asia, Central European University, Bard College Berlin, Al-Quds University - stretching from Dushanbe, Bishkek, Tblisi, the West Bank, Vienna, Lisbon, Brooklyn, all the way to Reno, Nevada. Thank you indeed. I'm not crying, you're crying.

#MondayMotivation comes to you from Sandro, a student currently undertaking an internship @OxfordAnalytica. Sandro says that his internship thus far has allowed him to step out of his comfort zone and engage with topics and areas he once avoided.He also adds, "I have learned how to approach complex phenomena with a systematic point of view and compose tangible analysis. - - #MondayMotivation#Students#Internships #Growth

#ThursdayThoughts, comes fromKhiradmand, a student @myauca studying International and Comparative Politics. Khiradmand joined BGIA because of his interest in world politics and economic/business policy development. He is currently interning at the European-American Business Organization (EABO). An organization which, he says, " has opened a new window from which I can see how transatlantic business policies are formed and developed." Khiradmand also says, "I appreciate the efforts BGIA puts into making our exchange semester colorful, vivid, and unforgettable." - - #studentspotlight #economics #internships #exchange
