\”Chapman has offered me many opportunities to get involved in things I’m passionate about, whether it’s through clubs, leadership roles, or other creative outlets.\”
\”I would recommend students to take full advantage of their professors, as these are people who dedicate their life to helping students like you, in your career. Anything you would like to know or any type of advice you want to get, they will be there for you. You just have to ask.\”
\”Each year has brought new challenges, new growth, and the chance to become a better version of myself academically, athletically, and personally.\”
\”Understand that the transition into the working world won’t be easy, but focus on what you can control: Don\’t be late to meetings, follow up with your team, over-communicate, dress appropriately, make the effort to go into the office, network, and be readily available.\”
\”Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your experiences and network. If one opportunity doesn’t work out, you’ll have others to fall back on.\”
\”I would recommend getting started as early as possible and grow connections. Focus on researching and applying to anything you find interesting, or find an opportunity to develop a startup.\”
\”No matter how studious or career-oriented you are, the best memories always come from the people you are around.\”
\”My goal is to establish a self-sustaining business that gains prominence and ensures long-term success, rather than being a one-time venture.\”
\”Start early and network with everyone. Find a mentor, make older friends, and always be a good listener. Employers want to see passion and a go-getter attitude.\”
\”My experience at Chapman has been outstanding. As an international student from Peru, the support and closeness with classmates, professors, and staff have been invaluable for my adjustment and engagement in this new environment.\”
\”Argyros prepared me for post-grad by ensuring I had a well-rounded global marketing mindset. Whether through class projects or collaborative lectures, I was constantly encouraged to think beyond traditional marketing tactics and embrace the scrappy entrepreneurial mindset when it came to reaching your audience\”.
