Preparing for the business of their future Business alums share lessons learned through CBA academics, athletics When people think of College of Business Administration graduates, they don’t likely think of star athletes like Olympic gold medal winner Andrew Rock. But Rock, ’04, like many CBA alums, was a college athlete who valued a well-rounded education that blended athletic and academic challenges.
“Part of the reason I came to UW-L was that I wanted to have a balanced life,” says Rock. “I wanted to be a high level athlete and student.” UW-L has a rich history of incorporating mind and body balance. The university’s official seal has the Latin phrase “Mens Corpusque,” which means “mind and body,” and exemplifies the university’s commitment to a quality education for the whole person.
