[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif]A primary focus of the Summer Business Scholars team is to help our scholars make daily connections — with the subjects they study, companies they visit, and most of all with each other — that they will value for years to come. Last year, we asked several SBSP alumni to share with us their favorite aspects of the program; this time we followed up a few others*[/FONT]to find out how SBSP has had an impact on them beyond the three week program.

Chariltha Isanaka, SBSP,’15, was about to graduate from the University of Notre Dame in 2015, but found that she didn’t have all of the answers. “SBSP gave me a path to approach one of the most daunting questions: what do I want to do with my life? I wanted to explore what I was good at, what the world needed and how I could combine the two.” She is now a consultant in Chicago, uses problem solving skills she gained during SBSP on a daily basis, and remains connected to friends she met during the program that also live in Chicago.

Paula Melendez,SBSP ’14, is pursuing a Masters in Latin American Studies at Oxford, and plans to attend law school in London in the fall. *SBSP gave Paula confidence not only in interviews, but also in pursuing her passions, especially gender in the workplace and international law. “I still talk about SBSP and how much I learned.”

Chariltha, Danielle, Chet and Paula each came into SBSP with the goal of getting to their next step. They have taken very different paths since then, but they share the SBSP experience, which immersed them *in the Chicago Approach, growing a diverse network, and simply taking the time to learn. The impact of this lasts well beyond those three weeks.
