College of Computing & Informatics undergraduate student Anthony Silvestri ’18 was one of eighteen Drexel University students who traveled to Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Brussels, Belgium in December 2017 to conclude an experiential learning highlight of their Drexel experience.
The students participated in the
LeBow College of Business’ international consulting residency course, which combines a project-based consulting class and international travel. Throughout the quarter, students interacted virtually with their client,
BlueCielo ECM Solutions, leading global provider of software solutions to monitor and control asset information throughout the asset lifecycle. Company team members from around the globe interfaced with the students, who were tasked with developing recommendations for business challenges at the organization. Headquartered in Hoofdorp, Netherlands, just outside of Amsterdam, the company welcomed Drexel’s students to present business solutions during their one-week trip abroad.
Silvestri enjoyed the experience so much that he participated in the program twice, taking part in the prior year’s course in which students consulted for a startup in Prague, Czech Republic. “Working with a team of individuals from various backgrounds to develop integrated solutions for our client, I have developed skills that will benefit me after graduation as I begin a career in consulting,” Silvestri explains. “The unique learning experience of this course is the reason I decided to take the course again this year.”
