Shout out to our student organization leaders! Today get to know senior Cassidy Griffith, who is president of the USI Chapter of Business Professionals of America. She will graduate in December with a business administration major and a minor in marketing.
Why I chose USI and the RCOB:
I chose the University of Southern Indiana (USI) and the Romain College of Business (RCOB) because of the sense of belonging I felt after my first visit to the campus. After studying at a community college for two years, I knew I wanted to be a part of something bigger. The RCOB has always felt special to me as a business major. Everyone is so friendly, and I have had the most phenomenal professors who make going to class feel like a reward.
Favorite classes:
Digital Marketing with Professor Sabinah Wanjugu and Entrepreneurship classes with Professor Erika Williams. These courses have provided invaluable knowledge that I will carry into my future career endeavors. I also had the privilege of learning from two incredible professors.
Career goals:
I aim to build a career in the marketing field, where I can help businesses and companies achieve their goals. Being a crucial part of their success is incredibly fulfilling to me. I have a passion for all aspects of marketing, including content creation, brand awareness, social media management, event planning, and company-wide engagement. I believe that a great marketer plays a vital role in the overall success of any organization, and I am excited to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to this dynamic field.
