Business Alumni Profiles
Justin Moore
Class of 2010
"The Schroeder Family School of Business Administration does an excellent job bringing speakers with real-world experience into the classrooms. I've heard from financial advisors, CEO's of manufacturing companies, employees from the World Bank, and members of local commerce. During my time at UE, I've personally listened to former Mexican President Vicente Fox, journalist and author Thomas Friedman (The World is Flat and Hot, Flat, and Crowded), and presidential candidate and magazine owner Steve Forbes."
Trevor Gregory
Class of 2010
"Working with other UE students during my sophomore year, we had the chance to create a business — 'World's Finest Candyman,' and maintain every aspect of a partnership. The University helped fund our project and does so for most business ventures in the entrepreneurial classes. Our group tackled problems that really arise in the business world, like doing our taxes and keeping up with contractual agreements. While this project was very challenging and did take a lot of time, the effort was worthwhile — because employers see that I've already owned and maintained a business at the age of 22!"
