A New Beginning: Reflections on my Time Abroad 07/11/16
As I pulled away from the Bassano train station, I realized this was my last endeavor as a college student. Going forward, I’m no longer surrounded by students of similar interest who are on the same journey as I am. Now I’ve realized Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota has built a great […]

Going to Class, Company Tours, and Everything in Between: Final Reflections on Study Abroad 06/30/16
“Life is so much easier when you just chill out.” – Unknown. When I signed up for my study abroad experience here in Italy, I knew that I would have my eyes opened to a new culture, experience new things, and overall grow as a person. However, I never imagined that I would see so […]

3 Years Later: How Study Abroad Changed My Life 06/02/16
I remember it like it was yesterday, trying to stay awake and soak up as much of the view from the window of the plane as my flight touched down in Venice. I got off the plane and immediately was in culture shock. My immediate reaction was, “What have I gotten myself into?” and “How […]

Looking at the World Through A New Lens: Reflections on Study Abroad 04/20/16
I actually cannot believe my time abroad has come to a close. It seems like just yesterday I was packing up my bags thinking of what to write about for my first CIMBA blog—how far we’ve come! Looking back, it’s hard to think of words to sum up the experience as a whole. I learned […]

Timeless: A Reflection on My Time in Europe and What to Take Away From It 01/04/16
These past 4 months: from studying in Italy to traveling to the former East Bloc, to seeing the Refugee Crisis in Hungary first hand. It’s truly been an experience – one that is life-changing and life-enriching. I could go on about how studying abroad was a great decision, but to be frank, BEING abroad is the […]

How to Survive without Your Phone during Study Abroad 11/03/15
In the United States, the Internet gives us access to pretty much anything at any given time. At home, we all have plenty of data on our plans each month, and there’s free wifi essentially everywhere we go. If I have a question, I google it. If I need to get somewhere, I use my […]

IQ, EQ, and what I really brought back from Italy 03/01/15
I’ve been back in the U.S. for almost 3 months now (wow, that was hard to say) and in that time I’ve already seen the benefits of my study abroad experience at work. Not only do I have great stories to tell my friends, I have awesome examples to use for interviews, which I have […]

Reflection on My Time Abroad 05/06/14
Before you leave CIMBA, you listen to a few of the staff members talk about what it’s going to be like for you when you get back home. When I sat through these “town hall meetings” I kept thinking “Why am I here? I’m not going to have culture shock. I’ve only been here three […]

46 Days Later 10/25/12
“What is your favorite CIMBA memory?” the piece of paper said. A slideshow of photos of us played in the background, a sentimental tune to go along with it. You would have thought it was the end of the program, but in reality it’s a little more than halfway through. Hard to believe, but only […]
