What have the other Waltonites been upto?

I have been talking so much about my experiences so, I thought it would be nice to see what my classmates have been upto. So, I collected some pictures of a few of us from all around the globe.
This picture is from the orientation in January.Each one of us is busy with their internship/study abroad programs
Monsieur Thibault Vittet is in Oklahoma City. He is the Finance/Controller Intern for Cameron. While the company excels in making equipment for the oil and gas industry, Thibault is exceling in his finance projects. 

I am doing good, buddy. I just bought two diamond mines in SA. Maybe just maybe, I will use your  finance expertise in my company.
Nepali dame, Samita Khadka is enjoying Memphis. She is interning with Fedex and, very happily told me that Fedex even has a office in Nepal. Woooow!!!! If its got a office a office in Nepal it HAS to have one pretty much everywhere in the world.

Yup, Samita we know the arrow goes all over the world. :-)
Charles Hanson, celebrated 4th of July in China this time. Well, Charles if its any consolation I celebrated my first 4th of July braaing ( thats south African for BBQ). He is working for ACCA and, enjoying the dumplings. Follow his pursuits in China on http://waltonmbainchina.blogspot.com/

Here  is Charles on the Great Wall of China. I wonder how much chinese he learnt.
While Charles was in China our original Chinese friend Bin Liu, was in Germany. Bin had opted for the study abroad as part of his summer electives. I am looking forward to hear about his experiences and the seminar on "The Changing Environment for International Business in Europe".

Bin, seconf from left , enjoyed the "European Summer"
Lavery Patricia, is travelling to 3 countries in the 3 month summer break and is glowing with her experiences. She is visiting, Cambodia, Thailand and Srilanka and, if you check her blog, http://www.patriciaflanagan.com/ you can enjoy her internship stories, as well as her experiences with the different cultures.
Hey Trish , you make milling look like fun.
Mark Eastham, is enjoying the wonders of the rainbow nation. He has been " Chilling in the Gauteng" and if you don't believe me check out http://chillininthegauteng.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/portable-kitchen-adventure/
Mark has been exploring South Africa through his work.
Petite Gina Lopez, has had the best of both worlds. She finished a project with "Eden Tree" in Ghana and now she is in London, working for the "School of Social Entrepreneurs". Just for that Gina, you get to have two pictures on my blog. lol

Well, If you didn't believe me look at the pictures. Gina has really gained some valuable experience this summer in two different projects and two different countries 
Matt Lyon, is in my country- India. He is working in Ranikhet and talks about his work and life in India on http://thiseverlastingspoof.blogspot.com/ and it looks like the curries have gone down well with him.


Here is Matt blessing the newly weds. Looking forward to see your bolllywood moves, mate.
Co ambassador Tammy Lippert, has a very tight schedule this summer. She participated in a 2 week study abroad in China and, even got a scholarship for her trip from The Center of Retailing Excellence. She was already a intern with Kelloggs during our spring semester and continues her work there. In addition she was one of the students to get sponsorship for the " Heifer International Global Passport Program". I am sure you are following her on http://mightymba.blogspot.com/


Tammy loved the study abroad in China.
Xiaoyan Zheng is working from Fayetteville. She is working on a project with the City of Fayetteville and enjoying her first summer in Arkansas. She is also working for a Henkel Project.

Well, we can hardly see Xiaoyan, but she is there somewhere in the picture right in front of  her  work place.
I started with the Frenchman and,I must end with the beautiful Emmanuelle Forest. She is working as a sales analyst at Schwan Food Company. Her past marketing experience is adding value to her present internship and its pretty apparent from her picture how exciting it has been. 
Emma is all smiles at work. From France to the US of A , this is just a new beginning. And hey  Emma, you have to get the Pan Pizza for the class. :-)
