Meet our Global Scholar Award Winner for our IN 492: International Trade Practicum to the Philippines! 🇵🇭 We are honored to have Olivia join us in this wonderful opportunity with this award in hand. She shares with us: “I’m so grateful to be attending IN 492: International Trade Practicum to the Philippines as it will provide me with invaluable experience that will translate to my career within the global marketing industry. Meeting young Filipino fashion designers and visiting manufacturing zones for iconic brands will give me a better understanding of international markets. One of the most unique aspects of this trip will be embracing the Filipino culture through visiting historical landmarks, local markets and exploring the beautiful geographical sites. Most importantly, I’m eager to document my experience and project to share the value of studying abroad with my FIT peers.”
