The Math and Political Science departments and Honors College professors had a huge impact on my educational and professional development. The Math department gave me a ton of opportunities for professional development by setting me up with three separate internships that aligned perfectly with my current career as a modeling and simulations analyst. The combination of skills and experience from the Honors College/both departments was the reason I was hired into the career I aspired for, before I even had my diploma.
