“As a social entrepreneurship major, my education extended far beyond the walls of my marketing and finance classes. By including Shark Tank-style pitch competitions and Immersion trips as part of the curriculum, the program not only gives students the tools to succeed in today's rapidly changing business world, but also instills a passion for civic engagement. Because of this major, I carry Rollins’ motto, Fiat Lux, with me every day as I think about how I can be that light for others and be a part of the greater good.”
