What advice would you give to a current business student?

Sarah: Be curious and learn as much as you can from the amazing faculty and staff. Ask questions to gain a better understanding and be open to exploring classes on a subject outside of your major or various work/internship opportunities. I participated in internships each summer during both my undergraduate and graduate programs that helped me put into practice some of the lessons that I learned in the classroom. Natural curiosity will bode well for everyone in whatever career path you chose.

Clay: Be a lifelong learner and remain intellectually curious. Enjoy the journey. Stay humble, stay hungry.
