Seeing Cincinnati from a business and tourist perspective, and even seeing it by boat, was a terrific experience. I heard about Miami alumni’s different career paths, which was invaluable because I was exploring my options in the Farmer School of Business at the time. I also enjoyed meeting employers because it gave me experience networking in a real-world setting.
