It’s extremely important to build a network of people that you trust and who trust you. Having the initiative to step up and do something beyond your role is the best way to move forward.

Once I started reaching out to people on other teams and in my classes, that’s what really made my time here amazing.

Navi Beesetti, a fourth-year Management major in the College of Business spent her summer as a product manager intern at Microsoft.

The ability to manage my time and be able to work with others are two of the key skills I was able to take from my school environment and apply to my work life.

At Purdue Northwest, the class sizes are small enough that I was able to get to know my professors. They are willing to invest in you, in your success—you’re not just a number to them.
