"Throughout my graduate studies at The University of Akron, I have developed the skills necessary to succeed in a business environment today. … I now truly understand what it means to present myself as a professional. Taking what I have learned in class and applying it in a working environment is an exciting challenge. Before I began my graduate courses I had little to no experience on the “business-side” of my organization, coming from a background in engineering. The broad range of courses I have taken provided new areas of interest and curiosity."

"Travel is such an incredible form of education; managing to survive without speaking the language of the region, meeting diverse people, observing how they live their life. Every town is entirely unique, but Seville, Spain was by far the more beautiful and authentic."

"I’ve heard a few economists speak in my life, but none have made as much of an impact to me as Jim Clifton. The main thing I took away from Mr. Clifton’s speech was the importance of innovation. He believes innovation is the key to fixing our American economy."
