Alumni Spotlight

“You don’t need to have your future figured out the moment you walk through the doors of Grainger Hall. Take the time to explore classes that interest you, join a club or two outside of your major, and enjoy all that UW and Madison have to offer.”
Rae Johannessen (BBA ’21)
Compensation analyst, Palo Alto Networks
Majors: Management and Human Resources, International Business

What I will miss most about WSB:

“Catching up with inspiring people at Grainger Hall in between classes every day—everything from a quick hello to grabbing coffee at the café or the many late-night study sessions.”
