OUR STUDENTS SAY...

For more opinions please visit SUCCESS STORIES

“This Internship & Mentoring Program provides such an enriching opportunity to engage in your own interests in a meaningful and professional way, by forcing you to employ all of the characteristics I admire: independence, passion and dedication, seen as an example in every single mentor that we have been honored to have met.”

Sara Cordovez, University College London (UK) - RGNN Academy Class of 2018

“All of the staff were extremely professional and helped me create a portfolio specific and unique enough towards my area of specialty that I know believe I can get a job anywhere, even in fields unrelated to what I worked on in Madrid.”

Garen Powers, University of North Texas (USA), RGNN Academy Class of 2018

“I liked the variety of activities that also served as a learning experience, such as walking around for a photography workshop tour to see more of a city with someone who knows it very well but also get good tips on taking better quality photos”

Natalie Bauta, University of Florida (USA) - RGNN Academy Class of 2018

“I truly enjoyed the guidance of our mentors. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Whenever I had a question, they were always attentive and eager to share their insights. I have acquired new marketing skills in such a short period of time. Although the activities were fun, they were also challenging. There was never a dull moment.”

Kriscia Calimbahin, Boston College (USA), RGNN Academy Class of 2018
