Alumni Highlight

"Professional Development was one of the most important facets of the graduate programs at the Spears School. As an undergraduate student of Finance & International Business, I already had a solid background in the fundamentals of Business Administration. However, I humbly admit that I knew relatively little about the real business world. Professional Development exposed me to the softer side of business and allowed me to acquire skills that I use on a daily basis. And believe me; working for the largest publicly traded integrated petroleum and natural gas company in the world demands much more than a firm grasp on the business fundamentals! With my own experiences in mind, I encourage all students to take full advantage of the networking opportunities that PD offers. You never know when your future employer will be speaking at the next PD session !"

huihui "The Professional Development program sponsored my attendance at the Women’s Business Leadership Program. It was a great experience! The forum presented an extended definition of leadership - it is not just about skills; it is also about passion, enthusiasm, and courage. In short, I would like to share that as a woman, career and marriage are not a one or the other choice. There can be synergy between them bringing peace, joy and success to your life."
