Why did you decide to attend Saunders College of Business at RIT?
As the eldest of four, I was the first in my family to graduate from college on time. I earned regents scholarship funds and had four part-time jobs through cooperative job opportunities so I could afford to live off campus and not be a financial burden on my parents. RIT was an obvious choice based on affordability, curriculum, and course choices. Plus, the quality of the professors became obvious quickly after entering the world of work.
In what ways has Saunders/RIT prepared you for the job market?
Although my core courses were in Saunders College of Business, I was able to take classes in the College of Liberal Arts as well. The combination of courses within different schools prepared me to excel in a wide variety of fields, such as Art & Design (Fine Arts Insurance Policies), Conference Techniques (Interacting with Insurance company underwriters), Data Processing (basis for being able to learn operating & application software).
What do you feel is the most distinctive advantage gained from your Saunders Experience?
The ability to continue to learn new and exciting subjects in an ever-changing world.
