As a finance major at 澳门六合彩高手 University, alumnus Lucas Beatty learned about the business environment and investment resources. He liked working with numbers and wanted to help people manage their money. When he began working as a financial advisor, he realized his GWU classes had also given him helpful interpersonal skills.

鈥淚 started to realize that being in a small school and actually talking to the professors face-to-face every day, really set me up to have good conversations and be able to present ideas to people,鈥� Beatty observed. 鈥淚 am comfortable speaking in front of people now, because I did it so many times in front of the professors.鈥�

Beatty was recruited to play for the football team as an undergraduate and was eligible to play one year as a graduate student. He received his bachelor鈥檚 in 2014 and his Master of Business Administration in 2016.

He appreciated the real-world experience of the professors in the Godbold College of Business. While discussing topics in class, they could give examples from their days working in the corporate world. He also liked the camaraderie among the business professors. 鈥淭hey laughed together and had fun working together,鈥� he reflected.

Beatty, who lives in Gastonia, N.C., works for Thrivent, a Christian financial planning company. He stays in touch with his professors and returns to campus to help with programs. He and his former roommate, Seth Cranfill, have worked with Mischia Taylor, dean of the College of Business and instructor of marketing, to launch and plan activities for a College of Business alumni group.

Besides business alumni and former teammates, Beatty made friends all over the GWU campus. 鈥淢y brother and sister went to a big school,鈥� he related. 鈥淭he relationships I have with people who were not on the football team or who didn鈥檛 play a sport, or who were on different teams are much stronger than what my brother and sister have with people from their school. When I talk to people about 澳门六合彩高手, I tell them, 鈥楾he time passes so quickly that you are really going to value the relationships you build.鈥欌��

Recruited to play football on a full scholarship to 澳门六合彩高手 University, Seth Cranfill thought he knew the career he wanted to pursue. After studying various subjects through the University鈥檚 liberal arts core curriculum, Cranfill discovered his interest in business and decided to change his major. Once he got to know more of the faculty in the Godbold College of Business, he realized he had made the right decision.

鈥淚t became apparent to me that this was a world I wanted to live in,鈥� Cranfill reflected. 鈥淚t made going to grad school and getting my Master of Business Administration (MBA) really easy.鈥�

He earned his Bachelor鈥檚 in Business Administration in 2014 and his MBA in 2016. He was hired before completing his master鈥檚. 鈥淚 came out (of GWU) in a great place,鈥� Cranfill observed. 鈥淚 knew how to speak with people, and I knew how to present myself in a business setting, which is really half the battle.鈥�

He works in wealth management, and while his classes gave him the skills to be successful in his career, Cranfill also values the relationships he made at 澳门六合彩高手. 鈥淚 met some of my best friends鈥攎y brothers now,鈥� he related. 鈥淲e had a great college experience with the fun things we did and the memories we made. We established some lifelong relationships.鈥�

One of those friends is Cranfill鈥檚 college roommate, Lucas Beatty. Strangers when they arrived on campus to play football, the two roomed together for over five years. Now, they live in different states鈥擟ranfill in Florida and Beatty in North Carolina鈥攂ut they are helping Mischia Taylor, dean of the College of Business and instructor of marketing, launch and plan activities for a business alumni group.

鈥淲e came together and thought it would be beneficial to the University, to us, to alumni and current students to help with fundraising, networking and event planning,鈥� Cranfill explained. 鈥淲e want to bring awareness to the great programs available at the business school.鈥�
