Speaker

Yesterday I went to the awards dinner for the engineering senior design projects. They had a PSU alum give a speech about the importance of globalization and innovation. I forget his name but he is current the president of ADT, a sector of Tyco electronics. His advice was to get out of your comfort zone and travel to different countries as often as you can. He said his experience working in a multitude of different countries like japan, Israel, and Spain were the main reasons he was able to excel in global corporations. Another piece of advice that he gave us was to try to do everything typical of the culture that you are trying to live in. This will help you relate to their cultures and connect on a better level. This advice was inspiring and really made me want to travel outside of the US to work.
