DeGroote is such a tight knit community. I am always finding new opportunities
to meet and network with other people in my class, program, or clubs that I join
whether that be as a general member, executive member or higher leadership role.
At DeGroote, there is so much room to not only grow academically and
professionally but as an individual and make memories that will last a lifetime.

My journey as an Integrated Business and Humanities student at the DeGroote has
been nothing short of transformative. The unique co-curriculum seamlessly
blending business acumen with a deeper understanding of humanities has not only
equipped me with a robust skillset, but also fostered a holistic perspective
crucial for today's dynamic world.

community we have. It is truly an environment that fosters personal and
professional growth. This encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone and
partake in clubs and committees that helped me discover my interests and skills.

Apart from its well-known strong academic atmosphere, DeGroote has been
consistently reminded me to consider how to utilize my academic achievements for
future career development. In addition, DeGroote provides a variety of
opportunities for students to help them fulfill their goals, such as clubs and
networking opportunities. For instance, the Career & Professional Development
team, as a specific example, successfully assisted me in promoting my personal
brand and preparing for the application process, ultimately leading to a 2024
summer intern position at a prestigious international company.
