\"Back<\/a>
Back from Europe, Annemarie Lewandowski is interning in Gresham at Boeing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Summer is a relaxing time for many university students, but often it\u2019s a busy season for College of Business students looking to broaden their experiences, widen their networks and deepen their resumes.<\/p>\n

Take Annemarie Lewandowski, a senior majoring in management.<\/p>\n

The first part of summer found her studying international business administration at the Bad Mergentheim, Germany, campus of Duale Hochschule Baden-Wurttemberg. DHBW is one of the College of Business\u2019 partner institutions through the Arthur Stonehill International Exchange Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked it,\u201d Lewandowski said. \u201cIt was a really good experience being in a different culture in a different country, a whole different system. I\u2019m definitely glad I went \u2013 it\u2019s one of greatest things I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d<\/p>\n

The course structure and schedule took a little getting used to, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d have like one class for a week and a half and then be done (before moving on to the next class),\u201d she said. \u201cIt was horrible at first being in class from 9 to 4:30 straight; the first couple of weeks were rough. But we\u2019d take a 10-minute break every hour and a half for the smoking students \u2013 it was funny, I was shocked at the reason, but I wasn\u2019t complaining.\u201d<\/p>\n

While in Europe, Lewandowski visited nine nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cross over into another country for a weekend, the culture changes, the language changes,\u201d she said. \u201cEverything\u2019s so close and so small, but each country is unique. I was the most fascinated with that. Within 20 feet, the architecture style changed, and the people were completely different in their views and opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewandowski particularly enjoyed the citywide beauty of Prague, capital of the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s magnificent, one of the places I would go back to,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Back home in Oregon, Lewandowski is working in Gresham as a business operations intern at Boeing.
\nShe\u2019s helping project managers on individual projects, and also assisting with a company-wide initiative toward leaner, more efficient meetings and reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something we definitely hear about in all of our classes \u2013 lean, lean, lean,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s been nice to be onsite, implementing it myself, to see what is taught in class come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
