The first 4 days of company visits were incredibly valuable to me, as I am currently trying to figure out my plans after graduation. I quickly learned the different directions I could go as a business major. Some of them would be more traditional paths, whereas others were not, but I now know that there is so much out there to be explored! Not only were the speakers interesting in their various opinions on everything from their industry to Panama, but they offered us a new perspective that we never would have received in a classroom.
