“At the Shady Grove campus, I could multitask between being a parent and pursuing my degree. It’s an inviting environment for families, and kids can get involved. It was a meaningful learning experience for both of us.”

“In my global marketing class, we learned how cultures react differently to social norms, such as a business lunch. We focused on current international business challenges. My group project was about why Uber has been so successful in this country compared to others. Since my colleagues are from countries like Turkey and China, and I am from Colombia, we could each contribute from these different points of view and present a global solution.

Meet Rorie Campbell, a senior Business & Management major, who has made the most of all the ways to get involved outside the classroom. She recently shared her story with The College Tour when they visited USG.

Great Careers Start Here

Students access a suite of career services: mock interviews with top recruiters, resume reviews and door-opening connections to highly sought internships.

The Office of Career Services helped me prepare for Smith’s Career Fair, where I met with a globally recognized corporation – my first employer – Johnson & Johnson. I had the opportunity to work for their Project Management and Supply Chain Co-op in L.A. My career took off from there.
