I recently participated in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals trip to New York City organized by the School of Management, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity. It allowed me to gain valuable experiences and connect with people I wouldn’t have met otherwise. Touring the UN, networking with UB alumni, visiting Google headquarters, and making new friends are just a few of the wonderful memories I will cherish from this experience. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will always treasure as part of my journey at UB.
