Saunders had the appeal of a small business college at a big engineering school. I wanted the opportunity to work with and learn from students with vastly different backgrounds from myself. I also liked how the faculty at Saunders take a passionate interest in their students' career paths, and I was able to discern that on my first visit.
I am a consultant for IBM's Global Business Services, where I help IBM's clients effectively integrate new technologies with their own current platforms in a sustainable way. I'm also the co-founder of both a tech startup and an entertainment management company. Besides that, I strive to be a lifetime learner.
Saunders has given me great experience with working on teams consisting of people with different specialties and quirks.
I feel like I am more apt to take the initiative and to follow my interests. I find this quality surprisingly rare in the workforce today.
They allowed me to gain valuable experience in real working environments before I graduated, so I had fewer growing pains and could hit the ground running.
Saunders students are do-ers. They have valuable insights into how new technologies impact the world we live in, and they can help you implement your ideas in realistic ways.
