Why Join EGL?

I wanted to shift my career path from a less technical role in biomedical engineering, to a Project Management role. I also found the people in the community very inviting, and unique. Also, the opportunity to take upper level business classes was exciting as well. Lastly, I knew and continue to know that I am not in a rush to start my career, so I am excited to spend another year with my friends.

I joined EGL because all of the professional interests aligned with what I wanted to do in terms of international job opportunities and a business focus. I also joined because I loved the opportunity to Volunteer Abroad each summer. Finally, the culture and community within EGL seemed really adventurous and welcoming, and I wanted to be surrounded by people like that.

I joined EGL because it seemed like the perfect academic program for me to combine my interests in Spanish, Business, and Engineering. Initially, I was set on doing the Spanish/Ross minor, but realized I could achieve the same amount of credits in each simply by joining EGL and doing the International Minor + Ross Focus Area. I thought the idea of being in the program sounded very cool, and would give me opportunities I would otherwise not have via access to the older students, the alumni, and the professional development resources.

I joined EGL due to the vast opportunities in terms of business acumen, global education, and the culmination of my studies in a fifth year masters program. I wanted to expand my area of knowledge beyond mechanical engineering and explore these disciplines in order to determine my future career path. I was also intrigued by the professional networking and culture of EGL. Everyone supports and encourages each other to succeed and I knew that was an environment I wanted to be involved in.
