Students from the MSB der FH Münster - Münster School of Business in Germany joined Chambers MBA students for a cross-cultural learning experience that brought an international perspective to West Virginia. The experience included a global case competition, a visit to STOCKMEIER Urethanes’ facility in Clarksburg, and activities that gave students opportunities to collaborate and learn beyond the classroom.

The case competition saw students form six cross-cultural teams to develop a new German-inspired restaurant concept in Morgantown. The teams presented their ideas, including market analyses and strategic recommendations, giving students an opportunity to apply business concepts while collaborating with peers from another country.

Landing an internship with a Big Four accounting firm can be a major step toward a career. For Thao Nguyen, it also meant moving to a new city, navigating a new workplace, and learning what it takes to work directly with clients.

Nguyen, a senior double-majoring in Accounting and Economics, recently completed a two-month internship with PwC in Pittsburgh as a tax intern. It was her first internship that involved working with clients, giving her an opportunity to take what she had learned in the classroom and apply it in a professional setting.
