Georgina PoliusBA Sociology and

Anthropology, 3rd year

“I have enjoyed developing my global mindset, heartset and skillset with the Global Talent Programme and putting these into practice to solve a real life business challenge in the final stage. Working with students on vastly different courses and timetables, this experience showed me how commitment, teamwork, and understanding can be truly rewarding. I am so grateful that GTP gave me confidence in facilitating PAL sessions, so much so I encouraged many of the students to join. As a Student Ambassador I am interacting with a mixture of students and what I have learned as part of the programme has made it a lot easier to engage culturally, work collaboratively and give excellent customer service to my fellow students. Thank you to the team for ensuring this programme can be the success that it is."
