How are your experiences in the Rankin College of Business preparing you for your professional career?
The faculty in the Rankin College of Business have done an amazing job at preparing its students for their future in a professional career. They are dedicated to coaching students on how to conduct themselves professionally, providing opportunities to network with local companies, and giving us a valuable education.
What specific courses have been your favorite, and why?
I really enjoyed the Managing Information Systems course that business students are required to take. I learned many valuable skills with Microsoft Access/Excel that I know will help me once I graduate.
Have you been involved in any of the RCB’s special programs?
I was involved in FBLA during my junior year. It was a great opportunity to connect with other students and represent SAU in a positive light.
Do you have any favorite memories with Rankin College of Business faculty or fellow students?
One of my many favorite memories is attending FBLA Nationals in Orlando, FL. It was a great opportunity to represent SAU while also enjoying a fun trip with classmates.
What advice would you offer to a new student beginning their course of study at the Rankin College of Business?
I would encourage every new student to join at least one organization that is offered through the college. Joining an organization allows students to reach out and connect with classmates, become acquainted with professors, and encounter more potential career opportunities.
