My SIGM experience gave

me the rare opportunity

to become informed abouta wide variety of business

areas and make an informed

decision about which career

direction I should take before

graduating from college.

My fi nance studies during

the program played a major

role in my decision to

pursue a masters degree

in fi nance after graduating

from Vanderbilt.
