Wise investment
Andria visited numerous colleges, but Northwestern stood out for her. She says when she visited campus, she felt a part of something bigger than herself and knew this was where God wanted her to spend the next four years. As a student, she’s participated in the Business Club and been both a tutor and a professor’s assistant. She also is a member of the women’s golf team and plays intramural sports.
Appreciation
The business professors are supportive and care about my academic (and spiritual) growth. They encourage us and offer extra help outside class. We’re always welcome in their offices, even if it’s just to have a friendly chat. I’m also surrounded by extremely talented classmates, and I appreciate the open and honest environment that exists between us. We all push each other toward our personal bests.
Business ethics
My professors and classmates have challenged me to find ways to apply my faith to business. We discuss practical situations we’ll likely face in the future—some of which may require an ethical evaluation. We’re encouraged to figure out what we believe now so we’ll have strong values to lean on in the future.
Valuable experience
I spent the summer before my senior year in an internship at Ernst & Young in Minneapolis and will start my full-time career there next September. I’ll begin my work on the CPA exam after graduation and complete as many sections of the test as possible before then.
Gains
Faith is a transparent and persistent part of every aspect of campus life. I’ve been challenged to seek God in all I do, trusting he has a good and perfect plan for my life. I feel grounded in God in a way that’s stronger than ever before, and I’m looking forward to taking what I’ve learned at Northwestern into the rest of my life.
