Nina spent the afternoon of October 21 touring Whirlpool Corporation Headquarters, learning about the company's brands and how products are developed and tested. She also had the pleasure of meeting with Whirlpool executives and the participants in Whirlpool's WERLD Program—mechanical, electrical, materials science, and chemical engineering undergraduate and graduate students who seek to launch their career with a global industry leader. Following her tour, Nina visited Saint Joseph Regional Medical Hospital, where she spoke to girls ages seven to fourteen on the importance of believing in yourself and being accepting of your own qualities. She also discussed the importance of education and STEM.
