Remote Collaboration Across Cultures: Yousef Fakih’s Perspective Participating remotely, Accounting major Yousef Fakih supported Dartmouth’s Tuck Executive Education program by researching potential organizational partners and updating contact databases. This experience tested his adaptability and sharpened his research and communication skills. "It was like being a detective," Yousef recalled. "I discovered how much I can rely on myself to solve challenges independently." The remote nature of his internship also gave him valuable insights into managing virtual collaboration across time zones and cultural boundaries. Growth Beyond the Professional While the internships fostered professional skills, they also highlighted the interns' adaptability and cross-cultural understanding. Maryam found inspiration in the warm, supportive environment of the Tucker Center. Nour appreciated the independence and creativity encouraged by her team. Reem reflected on how technical skills and social interaction are both essential for professional success. Together, their stories underscore the shared values of learning, collaboration, and global citizenship fostered through AUK-Dartmouth programs. Academic Discovery Adding to this summer's enriching experience were two AUK exchange students who joined Dartmouth's vibrant campus community. Accounting and Finance major Reema Al Haj and Accounting major Yousef Damerji actively participated in academic and cultural activities. Their presence exemplified the program's broader impact, building bridges between our communities and enriching the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.
The internship and exchange program continue to equip AUK’s young leaders with skills and experiences that extend far beyond the classroom. Whether through crafting innovative designs, solving complex problems, or fostering cultural literacy, the AUK-Dartmouth partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration in shaping tomorrow's global leaders.
