Welcome to In the Know, INSEAD's podcast. In this episode, we sit down with Nancy Blyth Piacentini, Assistant Director of Recruitment and Business Development for Degree Programmes, and Carlijn Nijhuis, an INSEAD MIM'27 student, to explore Carlijn's experience with the INSEAD Summer School.
Carlijn walks us through how she first discovered the programme and what drew her in, before taking us inside a typical day during the two-week intensive programme: the interpersonal tools she picked up, the key takeaways that stuck with her, and how the experience shaped her decision to pursue the Master in Management (MIM).
Tune in to hear what makes the INSEAD Summer School such a formative first step, and stay tuned for part two, where we follow Carlijn onto campus as a MIM student!
