"The ITC program has been very challenging, yet the most rewarding intellectual experience in my SMU life. The program has sharpened my skills, broadened my perspectives and allowed me to interact with experienced industry leaders in the commodities industry. My internship experience with Glencore and Louis Dreyfus have been very enriching. This would not have been possible without ITI@SMU's continuous support."
