Alumni work in technology, education, finance and travel industries at places like British Airways, Condé Nast, Deloitte, OVB Allfinanz España and Tyson Foods. Unique careers among graduates include professional soccer player manager, congressional intern and freelance screenwriter.

Makensie Marten (Political Science & Economics, '19) recently spoke on campus. She told students that a SLU-Madrid education taught her "how to listen to other people that communicate their ideas very differently."

She later reflected on developing skills in the workforce. "It's not about perfecting it, it's about learning it," she advised.
