The classes I took helped me get versatile professional skills as they were related to business and communication. I took Interpersonal Communication, Business Communication, Principle of Marketing, HR Management and Organizational Psychology. Added to that, being a cultural ambassador I volunteered several times to give presentations and speeches on and off campus. Hence, I had to be always up to date in order to give people accurate and objective information. It was a huge responsibility as I was representing my country Tunisia, the United Maghreb and the Arab world in general. I had to learn more about my culture in order to teach people appropriately about it. I also joined the International Club and the Global Ambassador Club and contributed a lot to their events and projects. I believe my experience as Fulbright Scholar at the State University of New York helped me a lot to sharpen my Communication, Interpersonal, Leadership, Teamwork, Flexibility and Organizational skills. Added to that, I have gained a deeper understanding of the Networking and Exchange framework.
