Nick Larson - Sr. Consultant Executive Compensation, Expedia
"Prior to Villanova’s HRD Internship Program, I knew I wanted to work in Human Resources, but was uncertain of the direction I wanted to take. As a program participant, I capitalized on an outstanding internship opportunity with Mercer Consulting, the world’s largest HR consulting firm. The internship resulted in a full-time employment opportunity that not only launched my career, but put me on the fast-track to a leadership position and defined my career ambitions."
