STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

After deciding to major in business, I thought it was best to attend college in a city where there are more opportunities for experiential learning and internships.

Daniel Schlegel

CBA '20

The most important lesson I have learned at Pitt Business is to advocate for myself. Never be afraid to ask questions or reach out to professors, recruiters, or anyone in your network who could potentially play a role in the next step of your career.
