Vinay Pandu (SDM’23) interned as a Design Strategist ThinkPlace, over the summer of ’22 after participating in Networking Thursday during his 1st year as a graduate student in the MS Strategic Design & Management program.

Here’s his comments on Networking Thursday:

“Networking Thursday was a successful initiative in opening the world out to possibilities.
It definitely strengthened my connections to share and earn experiences toward my goals. It was a way to understand the best practices of the global industries and an opportunity to mold and inculcate them into mine. I was involved in utilizing the emerging fields for Design insights.

The experience and the new relations I built have helped me visualize and grow my own personal brand.”
