Laurel Bandy '07, Mountbatten Finalist

Congrats to Laurel Bandy '07 who has been selected as a Mountbatten finalist. She'll head to San Francisco during Finals Week for an interview and if accepted, is off to London after graduation. The Mountbatten Programme "offers a carefully designed 12 month training program that provides an opportunity to learn about British and International business techniques, and to experience the rich cultural diversity of London. Successful completion of the Programme leads to the Certificate in International Business Practice".

Who is eligible? You need to have your bachelor's degree in hand by the time you start the program, so it is a perfect opportunity for graduating seniors and young graduates who are looking for career opportunities. Interestingly, though it is a 12 month program, there are both fall and spring application periods.

PG alum Ashley Vroman-Lee '01 was a Mountbatten Intern after graduation, and spoke to Laurel about the program in advance of her application, providing advice on how to apply as well as recommending her to the program coordinators.

Good luck on your interview, Laurel, and thank you, Ashley, for providing your insight on this program and helping our students expand their opportunities.
