Student quotes
"Taking the SGE Immersion was a very smart thing for me to do, in retrospect. Sustainability is inseparable from technology innovation, and taking the time to carefully study the topic has paid many dividends for me at Corning."
"I consider the SGE Immersion to be one of the most rewarding aspects of Johnson thus far. It is a great way to use technical skills in practice and the project was a great way to get to the essence of business today—matching corporate DNA with an emerging business opportunity."
"For me, one of the primary immersion benefits is the cohort. In addition to forming a new group of close friends, I learned a tremendous amount from my teammates—a consultant, a banker, and an architect. That's a pretty unique group to be working with on a project."
"The experiences I've had in the SGE Immersion program are irreplaceable: learning with and from a diverse group of students in our immersion cohort, and working on a real consulting project with a start-up company. I know that participating in the SGE Immersion was key to my being able to articulate my career interests and goals in a way that makes sense to me, and that is appealing to the firms I want to work for."
"The SGE immersion was a unique opportunity to dive deep into the intertwined nature of business, environment, and society. This hands-on experience proved invaluable in my internship and job."
