Annamaria Borvice, who was awarded a B.A. in art history, says that to guarantee success after graduation, students should be "self-dedicated and determined to conquer whatever obstacles are ahead, whether that be an assignment, an internship, or meetings, especially when you're doing it in a country other than your own." Borvice is now pursuing a master's degree in digital marketing and communications of fashion design, hoping to one day start a fashion brand that, in her own words, blends "European class and San Francisco street style."
