Student Testimonials
Comments from recent interviews for the CBA Annual Report and other student feedback include:
"If I had to quantify it, I'd say my education would have been 80 percent less complete without having participated in the program. Even my most difficult classes didn't teach the skills and concepts I learned by taking part in the thesis program. . . Dr. Homer treats you like an employer or client would. . . she made herself very accessible for assistance." Robin Gensicke Madden (2006 graduate)
"If you want to have a shot at competing for jobs in top industries (investment banking, money management, consulting, or corporate strategy) you have to be a part of this program. Walking into interviews with your thesis in hand (and the wisdom you gained from the process in your head), helps truly differentiate you from the long line of candidates from 'better' schools." (Adam Joseph Trivison (2008 graduate)
"It was a great experience. I learned a lot from Dr. Homer, and the research experience was extremely rewarding. I would definitely recommend this program to other students. If you have the time and desire for it, it will be rewarding for you." Christopher John Lewis (2009 graduate)
"The CBA Honors program was one of the highlights of my college experience. Completing an undergraduate thesis is a unique accomplishment, and potential employers immediately recognize the commitment and effort that it requires. I truly believe that my thesis was a vital factor toward my post-graduate employment." Preston Gegenfurtner (2007 graduate)
"I'm so glad I joined, without your (Dr. Homer) help, I wouldn't be where I am, working as a Marketing Director!. . . Not only was this program meaningful, THIS program is why I'm at where I am today!" Catherine Cole Gutierrez (2006 graduate)
