"My business administration major helped me realize how intricately connected modern businesses have become by being encouraged to explore all my passions. I became a coach for the Clifton Strengths Institute, and as a sophomore, I studied economics at Oxford. I took these experiences into my internship at Nelnet creating a strengths-based work culture,” said Audrey Erker, business administration alum and training specialist for Nelnet.
