Meet Laura Glanz, our Director Spotlight of the week! Laura is a rising senior majoring in International and Area Studies and Marketing. This summer, she is working as a Summer Academy Fellow at Ogilvy. What are some of your favorite experiences that you've had through Bear Studios? "I joined Bear Studios my freshman year, and it is been one of the most growth-inspiring experiences of my college career. The people I have met have been unbelievably admirable. One of my favorite experiences with Bear Studios was when we threw a Happy Hour at TechArtista, a co-working space in St. Louis, to market our services a couple of years ago. We were able to engage with entrepreneurs, get to know one another better within the Bear Studios community, and, of course, enjoy some delicious samosas."
