“ As a freshman, I knew I wanted to go into accounting, but I didn’t know what that involved, academically speaking. Professor Haen, my adviser, was a lifesaver: He helped me work out a course schedule that would enable me to graduate on time, even building in the study abroad I wanted to do.

SNC helped me prepare a solid educational foundation for future success, but above all, SNC instilled and reinforced good values to practice in life.
