"Coming to Pforzheim was a great decision - the coursework and teaching are outstanding, and working in international teams is an invaluable experience. While there, I had several fabulous work opportunities (SAP, Fraunhofer), helped to create and teach in the new Summer School program for undergrads and visited some of the top EU and German institutions. All of this, coupled with my previous management experience, positioned me for a great new job. And best of all, I am enriched by many new friends-for-life from many countries and many backgrounds."
