Influence Community

I love the Hankamer School of Business so much because of the strong sense of community I have found here. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported in a way that made a large university feel personal. The relationships I have built with classmates, mentors and professors have truly shaped my experience and made the Business School feel like a second home. 

The Professional Selling program has played a significant role in that experience by creating intentional opportunities for mentorship and connection. Upperclassmen were eager to invest in me from the beginning, offering guidance and encouragement that helped me grow both personally and professionally. That culture of support has made a lasting impact on me and inspired me to pour into younger students the same way others have poured into me. 

Beyond the classroom, everyday moments such as studying in the Foster Atrium, catching up with friends or connecting with mentors through experiences like Faith in Business Chapel have made my time here incredibly meaningful. The community within the Business School has prepared me for my future career and given me friendships and mentorships that I know will last long after graduation.
