Advice to Incoming Students…
"Take advantage of the activities outside of the classroom. This will give you an opportunity to discuss what you are learning and bring the theories to the real world."
On Zicklin's Curriculum…
"One of my favorite things about the core courses is the fact that some are in subjects I have never taken - like finance. I love that I knew very little about it beforehand and within weeks of starting the course I can read the Wall Street Journal like nobody's business!"
On Zicklin Students…
"To say it is diverse is an understatement. It's great when you are in a class and hear perspectives from Asia, Europe and New York!"
On Fun Moments…
"Finals week - two tests down, two to go - we were in a study room at the library and just could not stop laughing. I don't even remember what we were laughing about but I think the stress, lack of sleep and poor eating habits of the past week had gotten to us...and we just couldn't stop laughing. I think it helped to de-stress us and get us ready for the tests to come."
On Leadership…
"Good leadership includes strong self-awareness and strong group-awareness. It is being able to share a vision with others and inspire them to your cause, work ethic or the like."
