Please tell us about your future plans once you graduate from Southern Arkansas University. <\/strong><\/p>

As of now I\u2019m not entirely sure as to what I am planning on doing when I graduate, but I am looking to take an internship in the IT field.<\/p>

How are your experiences in the Rankin College of Business preparing you for your professional career?<\/strong><\/p>

So far, my experiences in the RCB have taught me to speak to people in a more professional standard and come out of my shell more. Being a part of the Business Student Advisory Council, along with talking to the professors and the other IS students have allowed me to speak to more people in a more professional manner and to start talking more in general.<\/p>

What specific courses have been your favorite, and why?<\/strong><\/p>

My favorite courses so far have been Business Information Systems and Managing Information Systems. Both of these courses have been my favorite, which helps me to know for sure that I am studying in the right field.<\/p>

Do you have any favorite memories with Rankin College of Business faculty or fellow students?<\/strong><\/p>

One of my favorite memories so far was my RCB induction with one of my longtime friends who is also an RCB student.<\/p>

What advice would you offer to a new student beginning their course of study at the Rankin College of Business? <\/strong><\/p>

One piece of advice that I would give to any new student is to get to know your professors. They will be the ones that will be there to help you through college and beyond.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
