DUS Experience

When did you enter DUS?
Freshman year
How many semesters did you spend in DUS?
Four.
Why did you choose DUS?
I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up.
What resources did you use in your exploratory and decision-making process?
I met with my counselor on a regular basis. He suggested various courses to try. I decided on business after my macroeconomics course. He also suggested I use the services at the career resource center.
Did DUS benefit you? If so, how?
Yes, it helped me choose a major and career.

Penn State Experience

Accounting

1987
What extracurricular activities made a difference in your college experience?
I was involved in Golden Key National Honor Society and was the Communications Officer. This experience helped me work with a team and gain leadership experience. I was also a member of Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity. This helped me give something back to the community.
Looking back, would you have done anything differently during your time at Penn State?
My only regret is that I didn't double major with teaching. Now I'd like to take courses so that I could teach accounting.
