Derek Lewis: Lessons Learned Living and Working Abroad

Derek Lewis graduated from Santa Clara in 2017 in finance, and he
is now working as a program coordinator for the Spring Hill
College Italy Center in Bologna where I studied abroad. During
his time at Santa Clara, Derek developed an interest in business
ethics that led him to an internship at Intel.


After graduating, he moved to Bologna, Italy and has spent the
past two years working as a program coordinator for the Spring
Hill College Italy Center. I wanted to talk to Derek to get his
perspective on working and living abroad, especially since so
many Santa Clara graduates stay close to home in the hot job
market of the bay area after graduating


In this conversation, we discuss Derek’s journey to Italy, the
future of work, migration, and the summer internship Derek helped
coordinate last summer in a small town in southern Italy. Derek
has some great advice for new grads and I think you will enjoy
hearing the perspective of an alumnus who took a little bit of a
more unconventional path.
