What are you looking forward to most in Reynolds Hall? One word you think of when you think of Reynolds Hall?

  • I am excited to be able to utilize the Bloomberg Terminal and conference rooms in Reynolds Hall. The word that comes to mind when I think of Reynolds Hall is home because I know I will be spending a lot of my time there learning, collaborating, and building connections.

What advice do you wish you had heard as a Freshman?

  • As a freshman, I wish the advice I heard was how to build better study habits. Some classes are hard to study for, but in those classes I began observing my peers’ behaviors. I used Quizlet and created my own study guides to improve my study skills. Take advice from professors and students. Work on applying the advice in your daily life and when you do that, you will see growth and success.

What do you predict the business landscape will look like in 10 years?

  • The business world will push to continuously find ways to connect employees from all around the world rather than flying them into the same meeting room. COVID-19 has shown us how helpful working in a hybrid or virtual environment can be. In 10 years, meetings will start moving from zooming people in via laptop to zooming them in via hologram, like Star Wars. I look forward to seeing how different jobs evolve. Many positions are becoming automated now. Those old positions taken over by AI need to evolve to continue to push business growth and provide more job opportunities. I am most excited to see what kind of technology will be openly available for employee and customer use.
