Global, Wherever You Are

Our Germany abroad group had the opportunity to visit eight companies in Munich + one factory tour at MAN over the past five days!

On Tuesday we visited Hyve the innovation company and learned about crowdsourcing, followed by a visit to Siemens a leader in the transportation industry. That night we got the chance to have informal networking drinks with one of their C-suite executives!

On Wednesday we visited with BMW headquarters learning about their plans to move further toward electric vehicles to align with sustainability initiatives. We followed this with a visit to Messe Munich where we learned about the business of trade shows. Between these two visits we toured the MAN home plant where we saw in detail how vehicles are produced!

Finally we concluded the class related pieces of the trip this morning on a visit to BearingPoint Germany a consulting firm with its own innovation funnel system!

The educational portions of this trip have been amazing opportunities to connect and learn from some of the top leaders at the largest companies in the world, an opportunity we could only get by venturing to Europe with Poole abroad!

Yesterday the “Innovation and Marketing Systems” 2023 study abroad program officially kicked off in Munich, Germany! On this years trip we have 21 Poole masters students led by Professor Jonathan Bohlmann. 🇩🇪

Yesterday we were able to tour around Munich and learn the rich history of Bavaria while enjoying some of Germany’s best food and drink at a group dinner.

Today we visited with two innovative companies, EY and Celonis. At EY we met with the Innovation Consulting team in the wavespace, learning about EY’s innovation methodologies and interacting with their newest technologies. At Celonis we participated in a process mining exercise utilizing their process mining system that is used by some of the worlds top companies!

Happy LDOC, Wolfpack! We’re celebrating over here at Poole Global with another #wanderingwolfpack feature! 🐺🤍✨

There’s nothing quite like springtime in Paris 🌸🇫🇷🥖

One lucky section of MIE 480 went to Paris for spring break this year! Students explored the city, enjoyed delicious meals, connected with French companies, and wrapped up their capstone course at the beautiful NEOMA Business School. Keep an eye out for the launch of next year’s applications, and spend your spring break with the Poole Pack in 2024!

another day, another member of our #wanderingwolfpack 🐺✨🤍

Hi! My name is Olivia Kraay and I am currently studying abroad at Lorenzo de` Medici Institute in Florence, Italy.

I`m taking classes for my major, Business Admin - Supply Chain, and for my minor in Art and Design. My classes are really small which I appreciate because everyone participates and it leads to very interesting discussions. It also helps me get to know fellow students from all over the world.

Aside from classes and exploring Florence, I have been able to travel a good bit! My friends and I went to Venice for Carnivale, Milan for fashion week, and we spent last weekend in Zurich and Interlaken where we hiked, played chess in an old Roman forum, ate tons of chocolate, and went paragliding. This weekend, I am backpacking through Cinqueterre and the hiking and scenery are just amazing!

By studying abroad, I`ve had the opportunity to meet new people, learn to live in a new culture, and step out of my comfort zone. While I miss being a part of my student organizations back in Raleigh, this experience has been such a gift and I am enjoying everything it has to offer!
💚🤍❤️

it’s time for another #wanderingwolfpack highlight! Meet Kat! 🐺✨

Hej! My name is Kat, and I am a junior studying business administration w/ a concentration in marketing. Currently, I’m living in Denmark, studying abroad through Copenhagen Business School. I love traveling (I’ve been to over 20 countries!!), so coming abroad has been insane to have the freedom to do so. I was so anxious about the decision to apply, but it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The people, culture, food, and sights are unmatched! So grateful for this opportunity 🇩🇰🥳

If anyone ever has any questions about exchanges don’t hesitate to reach out 😇

Meet another member of our #wanderingwolfpack Alyssa! 🐺✨

My name is Alyssa Jarrett, and I am a marketing major studying at Lorenzo De Medici (LDM) in Florence, Italy for the spring 2023 semester! I’ve been dreaming about studying abroad ever since I stepped foot on campus for the first time. I chose to join the LDM program because I wanted to experience living in a vibrant city where everything is within walking distance and you can travel every weekend to a new European town. I love all that Florence has to offer—the pasta, extravagant churches, street markets, art museums, sunset views over the Ponte Vecchio, day trips, and especially the friends that I’ve met along the way. LDM also offers a variety of unique classes within the Business School, which has been a highlight of my semester. I’m taking Luxury Brand Management and Wine Business & Marketing. With thousands of study abroad students from across the world, I’ve had an amazing time meeting new people and creating shared experiences with them.
