Class of 2008, Business Administration Major, from Ashwaubenon, WI

My name is Ryan Schmitz and I'm a senior at St. Norbert College where I will graduate this upcoming May with a major in Business Administration and a minor in Economics. Likewise I�ve studied at the International College of Management Sydney, Australia, which was an amazing experience and I highly recommend taking advantage of the study abroad programs available through the college. Being active in both the community and St. Norbert College is something that is common for me. Some of the groups I�ve been associated with on campus include: Delta Upsilon International Fraternity, SIFE, Chess Club, and Phi Beta Delta International Honor Society. However, more recently I�ve focused my energy on my career. Currently I work as a Realtor with a local real estate brokerage company and have learned a lot through this opportunity. Time management is essential and often I�m calling clients and setting appointments between classes, but I believe this experience has given me a strong advantage over other so on to be graduates. Through my career I�ve also begun to join groups in the community such as: The Apartment Association of Northeast Wisconsin, The Green Bay Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Group, and a local bi-weekly networking group called Helping Build Business Assets. When I'm not at class or serving my clients I enjoy scuba diving, exercising, reading, and being with friends and family. If you ever have any questions about getting in the working world or my experience I�d be more than happy to answer them for you.
