So now let’s head over to the Lindner College of Business, where information systems and finance major Alejandro, can’t wait to talk to us about how UC’s top ranked academics go hand in hand, with its commitment to career preparation. Take it away Alejandro.

– Thank you, Alex. Hi everyone. I chose to come to the University of Cincinnati for one simple reason, this. This is the incredible Carl H. Lindner College of Business. And this is where a lot of the magic happened for me. I knew this was the right place when I discovered UC offered more than 400 academic programs, many of them nationally ranked. And when I learned more about this impressive city. In fact, I come from the enrollment and sign my apartment lease before I ever stepped foot in Cincinnati. When it comes to career prep, UC excels. Cincinnati’s co-op and internship programs rank among the top five in the nation. Everything from career coaching sessions, to meeting with your advisors, to studying abroad, to catching up with friends for a quick coffee, it’s all here. Cincinnati’s unique Bearcat promise, ensures that every student graduates with a degree in one hand, and a career plan in the other. Which is a good thing, because Cincinnati has a vibrant startup ecosystem for hungry entrepreneurs, not to mention companies like Proctor and Gamble, Kroger, and other Fortune 500’s. I can attest that experience-based learning is key for professional growth and success. Experience-based learning will challenge you and help you apply all the concepts you learn in class to a real professional role. It will also help you feel confident you’ve chosen the right career. I always tell people I don’t want to wake up and say, I gotta go to work, because work shouldn’t be work. It should be your passion. Cincinnati has not only prepare me to be a successful businessman, but also to become a version of myself beyond what I would have ever imagined. My business fraternity Alpha Kappa Si, helped me to grow my network, and also to meet what I already call lifelong friends. At UC, I learned that a college education is much more than learning skills for a job, or fulfilling requirements. It’s a platform, that will help you become the best version of yourself. Now back to you Alex.

– Alejandro, that was so cool. It’s so great to hear, that Cincinnati has helped you with the soft skills like etiquette and networking. In addition to providing hands-on learning and solid academics. It’s clear you’ve already found your passion and a path to success. Thanks Alejandro.
