As many Readiness Institute Summer Discovery learners know, the connection doesn’t just end after the summer. We continue to stay in touch with program graduates when they go back for their senior year, after they graduate from high school, and beyond. Let’s check in with one of the young adults who was a part of program.

Where are you now?
I am currently at Penn State University Park. My pre-major is Business Administration, with intended major of Finance.
What do you enjoy most about where you are now?
I love the atmosphere here at University Park. Everyone respects what it means to attend Penn State and the standards that are held.
How has your life changed since the Readiness Institute?
Life has become a lot busier for me! When I am not busy studying, I am with stadium operations for Beaver Stadium and a recruiting manager for the baseball team.
How did the Readiness Institute help you prepare for where you are now?
The Readiness Institute has really helped me appreciate how valuable networking is and how much it can improve your professional career, especially in field of business.
What advice or message do you have for your fellow Readiness Institute alums?
It’s the quote I heard a lot at the Readiness Institute — “Your network is your net worth.” Network as much as you can!
