Terry College’s investment in undergraduate students offer students a tremendous resource for connecting with companies, learning about internships and gaining the coveted post-graduation full-time job.

What resources did you use or would you like to encourage other students to use?

My involvement within Terry student organizations was the difference maker when it came to securing a full time job. Like the benefits available from other student organizations, the Society for MIS provided unparallelled access to industry representatives that I started to develop relationships with during my freshman year. Over the last four years, I worked very closely with Dr. Mark Huber, a personal mentor and SMIS Advisor. His experience has really helped to achieve my undergraduate goals and develop as a young professional.
