focus on STUDENT EXPERIENCE In 2013, thirty-two students were involved in Division projects and gained hands-on experience applying classroom knowledge. Employing students not only gives them great experience, but it allows the Division to support the University’s core mission and TU strategic priorities. Our students go on to successful careers across the region and sometimes even in the Division. Molly Rozran Molly has the unique experience of having worked in two units within the Division. She began working at TowsonGlobal as a front desk assistant during her junior year at Towson. She was following in her brother, Samuel Rozran’s, footsteps as he had also interned with TowsonGlobal. Working at TowsonGlobal made Molly more interested in the dynamics of building a business, so she added a minor in Business Administration to her major of Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Science and Risk Management. She wanted to explore the similarities of mathematics and economics, so she moved from TowsonGlobal to RESI. She has had to opportunity to work on a variety of different projects and get involved with several types of economic research.
