The most impactful professional development event that I have participated in is the annual mock interview event. It has helped me to practice my interviewing skills and enjoy interviewing.

Have you completed an internship? If so, tell us about your experience and how the Program prepared you for the opportunity.
I worked in a property management firm as a financial profitability consultant which means that I looked at the current business processes and created and compared new ways that the firm could make more income. The Business Honors Program helped prepare me for this internship, because of a year-long consulting project that we do in one of our honors practicum classes. Additionally, the program prepared me professionally for the office setting and collaboration in teams.
