γεια σας! Hello! I’m Dylan Patel, and I’m from York, Pennsylvania. Currently, I am a freshman in the College of Business Administration with an intended Finance major, Economics minor, along with certificates in Business Analytics, Leadership & Ethics, and Sports Management. This year, I joined Phi Beta Lambda (PBL), a professional business organization, participating in social, service, and career development events. I also completed the Leaders Engaging and Developing Strengths (LEADS) Program which fostered new ways to think about and strengthen my leadership skills, communication skills, and personal brand.

Some of my previous travels include India, Switzerland, and South Africa, though I am particularly excited about the unique experiences that Cyprus will offer. Being one of the largest international shipping hubs considering its geographic advantage, Plus3 will provide an in-depth experience to analyze the social, technological, governmental, and economic influences on the supply chain of numerous products. Lastly, a goal of mine on this trip is to improve my communication skills, and this experience will ask me to interact with unfamiliar individuals for an overall rewarding experience.
