“I always knew that I wanted a job that dealt with
international markets. Through the AREC department, I
was able to take classes that focused on international
trade and policies, while also benefiting from real-life
experiences through study-abroad trips to Guatemala
and Europe. I will be forever grateful for all the AREC
faculty and staff that poured their time into my education
and made me the professional I am today.”
