Seeds of Knowledge: An Anthropologist’s Summer at Sprout Farm
No full textThis reflection describes my transformative summer internship at Sprout Farm, where I engaged in community-based agriculture, collaborated with a wonderful team of farmers, and explored the intersections of food justice, sustainability, and political activism.

Nomad Creators fashion Marketing Internship Reflection
No full textThis paper reflects on my internship experience with Nomad Creators, a company rooted in Central Asian fashion and culture. Initially motivated by an interest in exploring Central Asian dress, I ultimately gained broader insights into the influence of Western fashion and how brands navigate cross-cultural identities between Central Asia and the United States. Through this internship, I developed professional skills in social media management, creative branding, and cross-cultural marketing while working in multiple languages. I discovered that I thrive when given structured goals and deadlines, and I learned to adapt quickly to challenges, such as transitioning to work directly with the CEO after my supervisor’s departure. My liberal arts education supported this experience by enabling me to connect creative and analytical skills across disciplines. Overall, this internship confirmed my passion for the fashion business and marketing, strengthened my career direction, and provided me with clarity about my role within the fashion industry
Heidelberg University International Summer Course
No full textThis is a reflection on my experience as a student at Heidelberg University\u27s International Summer School. Heidelberg is an international city in the southwest of Germany, approximately an hour south of Frankfurt. Heidelberg University is well known for its excellence in education. While a lot of the students attending have a bit of German language knowledge, they also offer courses for students that have never spoken German before. Most other courses require you to know a little of the language first. If you are an architecture student, while there isn\u27t any specific architecture themes, Heidelberg is home to many old structures, including its castle, which has been blown up at least once but is still standing and beautiful. There are also opportunities to go on day trips to nearby historically significant cities, such as Nuremburg and Strasbourg(which is in France). You can also visit nearby cities such as Schwetzingen, whose castle is beautiful and hosts both Baroque and English gardens. The professors are quite nice and good at explaining things
