The Coronavirus Pandemic has certainly taken its toll on many businesses in a wide variety of fields. MIM is no different, as it is an international business existing in a climate when many embassies around the world were shut down. However, the school's staff worked diligently throughout the pandemic to make an April 2021 start date a reality. More specifically, MIM's Chief Compliance Officer, Mariya Proyss, did an admirable job of leading MIM's operational and administrative efforts during the difficult times. In fact, she issued DS-2019 forms to each student and kept in touch with each one throughout the visa process. The April 2021 cohort included 10 new students from countries as diverse as France, Japan, Germany, and India. Sure, things may look a bit different with students wearing masks and having to social distance, but students can still expect to have a wonderful academic, cultural, and professional experience at MIM!

Roger Sunyer Ane has truly experienced all aspects of MIM during his five years of association with the school. In 2016, he started as a student for MIM's 3-Month Business Administration Program (BAP) via a partnership with his school, Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB) of Spain. After then receiving his Certificate of Completion and going on to finish his studies in Spain, Roger missed the excitement of New York City and MIM and decided to return for the Diploma in International Business Administration (DIBA) Program in 2019. He knew that completing this program would then lead to him becoming eligible to receive the Masters in International Business (MIB) from EAE Business School, one of the top Spanish Business Schools. In addition to receiving this enhanced credential, Roger sought to have a longer internship experience than his 3 month program provides in 2016. Luckily, the DIBA Program also included a 9-month internship at a New York City company. In Roger's case, there was no better place for him to intern than at MIM, a school that he already enjoyed twice as a student. As Roger stated, "It was a no-brainer to do my internship at MIM. The school has always treated me well and allowed me to expand my horizons in New York City. Even during the pandemic, MIM has provided me with the opportunity to learn so much more about international education." MIM's Marketing Director, Marc Nelson, also had enthusiastic remarks about Roger when he said, "It is at the point where we don't even use the term 'intern' to refer to Roger, because he does so much more than that. We call him Marketing Assistant, because he has been instrumental in certain areas such as expanding our partnership efforts in Spanish-speaking countries, such as Panama." Roger looks forward to experiencing more professional growth at the Manhattan Institute of Management (MIM) in New York City.
