Co-Honors Directors:

Chris Himmelman - Class of 2018

Major: Marketing

Through my involvement with the DeVille School of Business, I landed a summer internship at American Greetings. I learned so much about the corporate culture and how to work in teams in that corporate setting. It was very rewarding. All the skills that I learned from the DeVille School of Business transferred well into my internship. Not just the curriculum I learned from a book in class but the soft skills too, like communication and work ethic. As a result, I received a full-time job offer to return to American Greetings after graduation.
