One conversation can change your course. 🗨️🧭

International studies sophomore Zoë Lindner got the chance to chat with Vandal alumni in D.C. on the annual Martin Institute trip. The trip was designed for students to have an opportunity to speak with former Vandals who work in areas the students are interested in.

Thanks to candid advice from a Vandal working in the U.S. Department of Justice, Lindner discovered a new path from global politics to paralegal work on the international stage.

“It was so fun to be close to my classmates and to get to experience all of the things while we were there,” she said. “But it also turned out that I got some great career advice. Going back there and talking to people who work there and finding out about interesting career paths that you didn’t even know about was amazing.”
