Prepared for Career and Life

Next, we have Ellen at the Schroeder School of Business. She’s a senior majoring in Business Management. I’m pretty excited for you to hear about Ellen’s exceptional experiences at UE, and how the many opportunities to get involved on campus can grow leadership skills and even lead to being a CEO while you’re still a student. Take it away, Ellen.

– Hey, Alex. I’m so excited to have you here at UE. I grew up with three older sisters who all attended college. One of my sisters attended UE. As soon as I stepped on campus, I knew I would once call it home too. The Schroeder School of Business is AACSB accredited, which is impressive since only 5% of business schools in the world receive this accreditation. UE equips students through hands-on work and real experiences. Also, every business student completes at least one internship during their time here on campus. One of my favorite parts of the business school is the exclusive opportunities. For example, this year, I’ll be able to test my management skills by serving as the CEO of Embrace, which is a student created and led for-profit marketing agency. I have developed my leadership abilities through a highly competitive program called LEAD Forward. LEAD Forward works with students to develop core leadership abilities, engage business leaders, and impact the community. Lastly, I love that I’ve been able to combine my social experiences and academics by joining a professional business fraternity called Delta Sigma Pi. For the last three years, I have served as an Admission Ambassador, giving personal tours to high school students. As you can see, I’m heavily involved on campus. And so many students here are. That’s why UE was recognized in 2020 by the Wall Street Journal’s Annual US College Rankings for Student Engagement, placing just 16th in the nation among over 4,000 other four-year colleges and universities. UE has not only prepared me for my career, but how to be successful in life. I have gained confidence and courage during my time here, and I know I’ll have the right tools to conquer whatever comes my way. What’s next, Alex?

– Thank you, Ellen, for letting us know about all these amazing opportunities. Imagine being as busy as you are and having fun doing it. Great job, Miss CEO. Take care.
