Group of QU students gathers at the front desk during their visit to Google in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
On Thursday, March 27th, Dimitri Restaino, a major in Entrepreneurship & Small Business Management, and a small group of other QU students were given the opportunity to visit Google in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Accompanied by Grace Peiffer, Director of Employee Relations, the students had the opportunity to meet with Steven Geller, a QU alumnus currently working at Google. Dimitri explained that, like all the QU alumni he had been introduced to on this occassion, Mr. Geller was welcoming and knowledgeable about what it takes to be successful in business. Dmitri explained that, “It is always pleasant when students are able to see welcoming and hospitable QU alumni in a major business environment.”
While on a tour of the premises, students were able to meet some of the employees and chat with them. The students were also given time to network with everyone attending the event and meet members from the QU Boston alumni chapter. Students left the event filled day with new contacts and a better sense of how Google does business–especially on site. As Dimitri noted, from the private nap stations, to the fully stocked kitchens on every floor, the design was impressive.
“All in all, this was both a very beneficial and eye-opening experience for me as a second semester senior looking to enter the real world soon,” Dimitri stated, including that “…this was all possible due to the partnership between the Office of Development & Alumni Affairs and the School of Business Career Office.”
