What's new at WP?
Experience Academic Excellence
Through the Cotsakos College of Business, I’ve attended conferences in Florida, Virginia, and New Jersey, where I learned from industry experts and made numerous professional connections. Classes are challenging in a way that’s helping me grow personally and feel confident about entering the field. Overall, WP is opening doors for me in more ways than I could have imagined.

my dad for always pushing me past my limits, and to my best friend, my fiancé, for seeing in me the greatness I’m destined to accomplish & for supporting me in every way possible.
