Ife Odelana is enjoying the diversity of cultures and experiences alongside peers in her classes this summer. The MBA International Business student from Nigeria is grateful for the networks she has built with classmates and professors who come from around the world.
Ife considers her educational experience at TWU "a challenging but reforming experience."
"It has stretched me and opened my mind to new possibilities," she said. "It helps me see from a different perspective."
"I have also made some very important and beautiful friendships that I am sure would exist for a very long time. My professors have also been a big part of my time here so far. I have interacted with some even outside the classroom and they have challenged my thought process, and that's very important to me."
