Personal Attention from the Start

From your first contact with the Center, you’ll notice something different. Our directors, Amy Schmidt and Sarah Tueting, are there for you. Your first call with Amy may be about your career goals and interests and how they fit with what the Center offers. We take the time to learn about you and where you’ve been, and to help you figure out how to get to where you want to go. You get the individual attention you need to make the right decision about attending the Center for Brand and Product Management.

With that, we hope you’ll apply and pay us a visit. (Click here for more information about coming to visit the Center). And, once you come to the Center as a student, the close connections with the Center staff continue. On the academic and career fronts, Sarah assists students with polishing their resumes and honing their interview skills. She pulls in brand and product management executives to deliver applied learning activities that address students’ needs and interests. And she works tirelessly to help match students to the ideal internship or job.

But the personal attention doesn’t stop there. Amy, Sarah, and their staff have been known to help students find apartments. Both Amy, Sarah, and the Center’s Executive Director have hosted the students at their own homes for special events. The Center's staff, along with many of our Advisory Board members, are there as a mentor for students, giving them the professional and personal guidance they need to be successful.
