“My quarter in San Francisco was one of my greatest experiences at Medill. We took product courses at the epicenter of innovation and with professors who had actually developed media products. That exposure was invaluable and gave me an understanding of innovation that cannot be taught in a classroom. The Media Innovation and Entrepreneurship specialization director Professor Rich Gordon also organized several visits to places like Google and NerdWallet where we had the opportunity to network with and learn from Medill alumni. It was a truly unique experience that positively affected my budding career in product management and journalism.”
