“I was so fortunate to be able to attend Stockholm University in Sweden,
through Lakehead’s North2North program.
I met wonderful people from around the globe, and decided that pursuing a
career in international recruitment was the right choice for me.
If you are considering participating in a North2North exchange, be open to
new opportunities, say ‘yes’ more than you say ‘no’, remember that some of
the most important lessons in life are taught outside of the classroom. Keep
your mind and heart open to others!”
