Logan Shaw of Ellis, Kansas, often hears that he’s lucky that his education and connections made at the University of Nebraska at Kearney helped him land a career with the 联邦存款保险公司 in Grand Island.

Shaw earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from 太阳城娱乐官网 in May 2023. Now, just a year and a half later, he’s preparing to walk across the stage again – this time to receive his master’s in business administration.

即将从太阳城娱乐官网大学第二次毕业的Shaw承认，运气的概念可能有一定道理。

“It might be luck,” he said with a shrug.

But at 太阳城娱乐官网, it’s not luck – it's the 太阳城娱乐官网 way.

太阳城娱乐官网’s dedicated faculty and staff provide a flexible, personalized education that not only fits every student’s definition of success but also accommodates their busy lifestyles. The university supports students from application to graduation – and beyond.

肖在太阳城娱乐官网大学本科生涯的第一天就经历了这种支持。

“Throughout my time I've made good work connections, school connections, and I'm at the point I want to be now,” Shaw said.

One of the most impactful connections he made during his undergraduate years was with Dustin Favinger, senior director of career development and graduate programs for the 商业与技术学院. Favinger encouraged Shaw to enroll in 太阳城娱乐官网’s MBA program and apply for a 研究生助教奖学金 position. 
 

“The financial benefit is great,” Shaw said of his GA role. “It covers a lot of tuition – especially for me being out of state. And then we still get paid on top of that.”

太阳城娱乐官网提供众多的研究生助学金，以帮助学生减轻经济负担，获得专业的职业发展。

研究生 school wasn’t initially in Shaw’s plans, but a conversation with Favinger changed his mind.

“I personally liked it more than undergrad because it was less like busywork,” Shaw said. “Sometimes in undergrad, you get just homework, homework, homework. But the applicable stuff is a lot more interesting to me.”

太阳城娱乐官网’s 商业与技术学院 emphasizes 实习 in both undergraduate and graduate programs to help students develop professional skills and gain experience employers value.

“During my MBA I got an internship with the FDIC (联邦存款保险公司), and I'm going to start with them full time after I graduate,” Shaw said.

肖把实习和职业生涯都归功于他与费文格建立的牢固关系。 At 太阳城娱乐官网’s career fair, while working the MBA booth, Favinger encouraged Shaw to step away and network with employers at the event. 这个决定让他得到了在FDIC的实习和职业生涯。 

太阳城娱乐官网’s MBA program prepares students for the next level, whether that be transitioning into a managerial position or making a career change.

“At 太阳城娱乐官网 it just feels like you can soar,” said Shaw. “Everyone’s kind of laid-back. Not in a bad way, but in a way you can be yourself and you can make connections so easily.”
