During high school, I got told, “This won’t fly in college,” so many times I can’t even count. Well, they were right. Growing up I was the kid that got easy A’s by doing the bare minimum, even passing my AP courses that way. When I got to college, I assumed it would be the […]

Since my span of formal engagement with the UW-Stevens Point MBA program came to a conclusion, it’s as if I haven’t stopped realizing and therefore discussing the nearly routine life changes I’ve experienced over the last several months–job transitions, marriage and relocation to name a few.

It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since I sat in my first MBA course at UW-Stevens Point. There I sat wide-eyed and ready to soak up whatever information I could possibly take in from the dozens of strangers sharing a room with me; strangers I now call colleagues, mentors and friends.
