Why did you choose Isenberg?

After exploring Isenberg, I found a common characteristic among the community - everyone displayed an abundant amount of grit. I resonate with that because I have worked hard for all of the success I have achieved in my life thus far. Earl Stafford, the 2017 Isenberg Business Leadership Award Winner, once said "Making this a better world shouldn't be separate from business". I feel strongly that while at Isenberg, one can pursue Mr. Stafford’s mantra.

What is one of the best experiences you've had at Isenberg?

I completed the Isenberg International Internship Service Leadership Trip in South Africa with Isenberg Citizens First. I remember while on the way to the airport to go back to the United States an Isenberg Faculty Member said that when you help others, you elevate yourself. I personally believe that in order to gain, you must give so I one hundred percent identified with that quote. Service is crucial to being an active citizen of the community. My experience in South Africa gave me the opportunity to give back and grow as an individual.
