WHY WEBER STATE?

---

I am international student from Guayaquil, Ecuador. I came to WSU in Fall 2017 with the Weber Edge Scholarship. I was looking for an opportunity to study abroad and WSU was the best among all universities across the U.S that I applied for.

WHY HUMAN RESOURCE?

---

I have always been interested in Business and HR, so it was great finding a major that fulfill both areas of study.

INCREDIBLE ACCESS

---

Goddard is an amazing college to be part of. The professors are always willing to work with you and help you to succeed. I can’t emphasize enough how amazing Goddard professors are. I decided to continue for a Master’s because of Dr. Boyle. Every business core requirements brought me reassurance that this major was for me and that I am loving what I am studying.  Their patience and thoughtfulness help me a lot throughout my career. I would like to also mention that I acquired my HR internship thanks to the Goddard School. The Freshman/ Sophomore Business club was hosting a meeting with Capstone Nutrition VP. That opportunity allowed me to fulfill my internship credit and catch my interest to be involved with the FSBC.

FACULTY IMPACT

---

The Dean Mouritsen was my Accounting Professor for two semesters. Before I had a hard time understanding Accounting, but he made it look so easy and exciting that I did consider to switch major at some point. Wendy Fox Kirk, Matthew Thue, Michelle Rich, and Rodney Belnap are also a few of my favorite professors that I would like to mentioned. They worked with me helping me to understand class material and address any concerns I had due that English is my second language.
