Yet through the teachings of the Rutgers Master of Business and Science (MBS) Externship Exchange program, I learned that familiarity can be deceptive. What may feel like a call to act based on one’s previous experiences or understanding of similar situations is actually an opportunity to test new strategies and see old problems through sharper lenses.
