Aditya Rao (SDM’23) interned as a Design Strategist at 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.

In discussing his experience through Networking Thursdays, Rao said:

“Networking Thursday events gave me the opportunity to build relationships that were key to schedule interviews with different companies. The more chances I got to speak the better I got at it”
