I had the opportunity to become an Emergency Medical Responder through my EMR course. During this course I learned many techniques, including CPR, taking blood pressure and pulse, and learning how to react quickly in an emergency situation. Learning these techniques are helping me pursue my career as a Physician Assistant.

CHANDLER CREAN Business Administration in Organizational Management

“

When I interned with Wells Fargo, it allowed me to work a 40 hour week to understand what corporate business was like in an entry level position with their home mortgage office. While I was there, I was able to network and learn about other departments within Wells Fargo by speaking with executives about their experience post graduation.
