It was unbelievable to me how everyone came together in this program. Through all of us being involved in the same intense, intellectually satisfying program at the same time, we had an amazing group experience. We moved beyond being friends and became a family. I am not exaggerating when I say there is only one way to describe this program. To put it simply, it is the best program ever. James Wan Fordham University Student, Majoring in Mathematics and Economics, Second Generation Entrepreneur Perfect! That s how I would describe this program: Just perfect. It s a perfect program for those who want to go into business and law. And the personal bonding that took place was unforgettable. The friends I made here I look forward to doing business with them. Eric Ding JD Candidate at Northwestern University, Founder of VisCorps Leadership Group I just made 20 new global friends. As we all grow and start different companies and head off in different industries, we will be able to rely on each other and have the great memories we are making right now. The most helpful aspect of the program were the connections I made, but the knowledge is amazing also. I thought I knew how I would one day do business with China but that has completely changed. 9 Stephanie Ball Recruiting Operations Coordinator at Bridgewater Associates, Third Generation Family Business Leader
