the work that is done there, etc.) that captures the culture of the organization. It can be a picture
of an organization in which you are currently employed or have been employed in the past. It can
be a picture of a non-work-related organization to which you belong or have belonged in the past

(if the picture is pasted into a Word document) or in a separate Word document, provide a written
explanation of the culture, discussing specific characteristics of the culture, the strength of the
culture, the positive or negative impact that the culture has on the organization, etc. Use
