They didn't know it yet, but they were standing in the middle of a moment that would change their lives forever.

These photos with the cheesy props? They're more than just first-day pictures. They're time markers, capturing the moment you begin discovering who you'll become. Today, it's your first-day-of-college photo. Tomorrow, it's your graduation portrait, your internship announcement on LinkedIn, your entrepreneur feature, your first professional headshot, or your CEO portrait.

The friendships they hadn't made.
The professors they hadn't met.
The internships they didn't know were possible.
The businesses they hadn't built.
The lives they hadn't impacted.

Some moments don't feel significant until years later.

This was one of them.
Welcome to the Richards College of Business. Your future starts here. 💼🐺

Study Abroad London 2026 recap!

What an unforgettable week! Fourteen students and two faculty members explored the best of business, culture, and adventure across London.

From visiting the Bank of England, TheCityUK, London's Tech City, and the BMW MINI assembly plant to taking on a scavenger hunt at the British Museum, where students raced to find artifacts from cultures around the world, exploring Oxford University, and experiencing London's iconic sights, every day brought a new opportunity to learn and explore.

Of course, there was plenty of time for shopping, great food, and making memories with new friends along the way. 🌍✈️

Here's to a week of global learning, unforgettable experiences, and a trip we'll never forget. Until next time, London!
