Raphael Arndt ’2017
Junior Associate at The Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

Being able to shine analytically and creatively made me stand out to land my dream job."

Victoria Lynde ’2016
YouTube Campaign Specialist (Via Nelson) at Google
"My degree in International Business from Rollins provided a strong foundation in business acumen, global awareness, and professional development that was instrumental in securing a role as a YouTube Campaign Specialist at Google within months of graduating. The department’s emphasis on diverse curriculum and career preparedness encouraged me to intern and study abroad, engage in extracurriculars, and grow intellectually. Choosing a major is an incredibly important decision one makes while in college and I couldn’t be happier with my experience as an INB major."

“The challenges of the program and the skill sets those created—critical thinking, professional writing, statistical and financial analysis, public speaking—have enabled me to adapt to and thrive in a wide variety of professional challenges. As I grew and developed new and deeper passions, I had this huge resource of professors who were not just teachers but also mentors and close friends. I feel equipped to do the things I really, really want to do and I'm deeply happy for that.”
Pierce Neinken ’06’08MBA
Global Portfolio Manager, Airbnb
“There was no such thing 10 to 15 years ago, but we were always working to find solutions to problems in small groups. I’d be with students from all over the world, every one of them bringing different perspectives. That experience has been beneficial throughout my career—working together to make the world better.”
Francisco Wang ’22
PhD Candidate at the University of Cambridge
“Beyond being deeply committed to the success of our research project, Dr. KC also took an interest in my future endeavors. He would always send me job openings that he thought would be a good fit and even helped with resume and cover letters. When he noticed my passion for marketing research, he encouraged me to apply to graduate programs, which eventually led me to Cambridge.”

Elizabeth Patz '2016
Solutions Strategy Analyst, Cerner Corporation
"What I found most beneficial to my career was the emphasis on case studies and real-world examples. In my current role as a solution strategy analyst, I am constantly thrown into scenarios without all of the information with the goal of improving the outcome. Rollins helped me think critically about issues with the mindset that with investigation, the root cause can be identified, and a plan of action can be determined to obtain an optimal outcome."

Sydney Knight ’23

“Looking back, something I'm really proud of is that I took the highest-level economics class available at Rollins. I got to use a new piece of software, and I wrote an in-depth research paper. I wanted to push myself and see what I could learn, and I had the support of my advisors to do so. I could really see that what I was learning at Rollins was going to translate to the real world.”
Tamer Elkhouly ’19

“I’m now able to juggle multiple deliverables on dramatically different schedules and apply legalese to issues of liability, disputes, and arbitration because of the law and ethics class I took nearly a year before I administered my first defense contract.”
