How are your experiences in the Rankin College of Business preparing you for your professional career?
The Rankin College of Business is preparing me by teaching me about specific programs and computer systems, for example, Tableau, Excel, and S.A.P. I have also learned about proper etiquette in the business world. Rankin College of Business has also prepared me for the internship by teaching me self-confidence and teaching me to say my ideas.
