Derek Lewis graduated from Santa Clara in 2017 in finance, and he is now working as a program coordinator for the Spring Hill College Italy Center in Bologna where I studied abroad. During his time at Santa Clara, Derek developed an interest in business ethics that led him to an internship at Intel.
After graduating, he moved to Bologna, Italy and has spent the past two years working as a program coordinator for the Spring Hill College Italy Center. I wanted to talk to Derek to get his perspective on working and living abroad, especially since so many Santa Clara graduates stay close to home in the hot job market of the bay area after graduating
In this conversation, we discuss Derek’s journey to Italy, the future of work, migration, and the summer internship Derek helped coordinate last summer in a small town in southern Italy. Derek has some great advice for new grads and I think you will enjoy hearing the perspective of an alumnus who took a little bit of a more unconventional path.
