FTM 484: Strategic Management and Decision Making in TextilesIn the second and third weeks in Prague, we completed the Strategic Management and Decision Making in Textiles course. The first week of this class was taught by Professor Helmut Hergeth from NC State and the second week was taught by Professor Vaclav Svec from the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague. In this course, we learned about strategic management and decision-making through case studies, games, excursions, and reflections. This course was especially challenging for me because I got Covid and had to move to online classes while being quarantined for six days.

MIE 430: Teamwork in OrganizationsThe next two weeks of the program were spent in Reutlingen, Germany. This course was taught to us by Professor Leigh Shamblin from NC State University and Professor Hazel Grunewald from Reutlingen University. In these two weeks, we worked with a group of German students who attended class with us every day. We were put into smaller groups and had to complete a number of assignments that gave us real-world experience working with individuals from a different culture.
