“Centenary is special because your professors really get to know you as an individual and they work alongside you to help you reach your academic and professional goals. My professors became my mentors, and they consistently pushed me to think outside of my traditional patterns of thinking in order to consider new opportunities. This helped me to find my passion in finance.”
