Alumni Spotlight:  Michelle Levesque
International Finance Around the World

Fate brought Michelle to AIESEC. She was studying abroad for a semester in France and, by chance, met an AIESEC intern on a boat in Interlocken who explained the organization, AIESEC, that organizes an international exchange program. Michelle realized there was a chapter at Arizona State, promptly joined the local committee and was elected as the Vice President of Internal Management for AIESEC Arizona State. At AIESEC Arizona State, Michelle established the popular Arizona Study Tour to the Grand Canyon, a program that ran for many years.

Upon receiving her degree in finance from ASU, Michelle was appointed to Vice President of Finance in 1987 for AIESEC US. AIESEC International Congress 1988 was held in the US which necessitated Michelle, as VP of Finance, to serve on the Board for Trustees for the Congress. With a bit of help from the airline her father worked for, Michelle was also able to represent the US at the AIESEC African Congress in Sierra Leone, which was a very unique experience.
