Management and Innovation

Outstanding Graduates

Emma Brendle, Fall 2022

This would not be possible without the amazing faculty, mentors and peers that have continuously inspired and pushed me throughout my years in the College of Business.

The curriculum at Colorado State allowed me freedom to pursue a wide variety of passions and interests across business. During my time in the College, I studied in Prague for four months, placed third nationally in Deloitte’s Audit and Innovation Campus Challenge, served as new venture co-chair in the Dean’s Student Leadership Council and interned with Amazon and Deloitte. The most rewarding part was meeting people who were likeminded that business should be used to work toward a better world. Business for a better world initially attracted me to business at CSU and will continue to be an important theme for me in my professional career.”

Kyndle Lee, Spring 2023

“ My experience at the College of Business has been transformative, providing me with a home and a newfound sense of security following my transition from the military. CSU has been the foundation for my personal growth, self-discovery and exploration of new environments. During my junior year, the College of Business presented me with an incredible internship opportunity with the Lab to Life (L2L) program, launching companies that emerge from research conducted within CSU. I feel incredibly fortunate to have expanded my knowledge base through relationships with the faculty. I learned from and interacted with some of the greatest minds I’ve ever encountered, and I am deeply honored to carry their teachings with me for a lifetime. The opportunities presented to me have been remarkable, and I am indebted to my family, peers and the faculty for supporting me.”
