书本之外

皇冠体育 + provided Rob Kandl ’23 with a deeper look into what marketing is like outside the classroom.

When Rob learned he could take master-level classes during his undergraduate degree with 皇冠体育 +, he decided he wanted to take his education to a higher level.

“I enjoyed the thought of having deeper conversations with my peers who already have full-time jobs,” shared Rob.

Thanks to Rob’s classmates and guest speakers, he gained knowledge on how many careers function and how every thought process that gets shared or goes unshared can affect a business.

“My assignments had me looking at real companies and real outcomes based on their business decisions,” said Rob. “我喜欢听那些被带到课堂上讨论他们在公司工作的人的真实故事。”

Rob’s first 皇冠体育 + class with Tracy Tunwall helped him know immediately that this program was for him. 企业社会责任课程通过实地考察和反思真实事件，让他对商业世界有了初步了解。

From Rob’s first class in the program all the way to his last course, he learned many valuable skills.

“My last 皇冠体育 + class was Dynamic 市场营销 with 罗根Stoops, which helped me find the ‘why’ within my reasoning, and it helped me ask more critical questions,” said Rob. 

虽然罗布和他所有的教授都有很有意义的经历和联系，但有三位教授在帮助他在Mount Mercy大学取得成功方面发挥了重要作用。

“Anne King, Christa纳尔逊, and Seth Pennock helped me with changing my major, day-to-day advice, and after-college tips,” shared Rob. “I could not have made it through without these three professors and their willingness to help me.”

皇冠体育 + not only expanded Rob’s outlook on marketing in the real world, but it also taught him valuable skills, a forward-thinking mindset, and created a network of professors that he can turn to for advice in his future career.
