eNews Student 关注的焦点 highlights students who are successful inside 和 outside the classroom. This edition of eNews features 丹尼尔Baiyeshea. 

Expected Class Year: 2024

主要: Business Administration with Marketing Concentration

家乡: 马里兰州盖瑟斯堡. 

Why did you choose to attend Frostburg State University?

I chose Frostburg because I wanted to be away from home while still in state 和 Frostburg was the perfect destination just two hours away. I also wanted to go to a smaller school where I would feel more seen by professors, staff 和 faculty 和 take advantage of smaller class sizes.

What extracurricular activities are you involved in?

American Marketing Association (President), Student Business Leadership Council, President's Leadership Circle, Student 校友 Ambassador

What is your favorite memory as a student?

My favorite memory from Frostburg is taking trips with the AMA to Chicago, Baltimore 和 New Orleans three times! A close second is going to Rocky Gap 和 nearby areas to hike, hammock, 和 spend time outside.

Which faculty 和/or staff member has influenced you as a student?

Dr. 莉莉,你们, my advisor, has influenced me 和 helped me become the person I am today. She believed in me 和 pushed me to become the president of AMA 和 helped bring me out of my shell 和 grow confidently. Dr. 埃文Offstein 和 Dr. 杰夫•麦克莱伦 were also phenomenal professors who changed my perspective on learning. 

What advice would you give to a student currently studying your major?

网络! 网络! 网络! In the business world it is all about who you know, 和 your network will determine your path. Form connections 和 relationships early on so you are prepared for the next steps. Also be an opportunist, you never know what you could gain from attending an event or a conference, doors open like crazy when you are willing to take the opportunity. 

Tell us about a class or activity at FSU that has had a surprising effect on your life.

Dr. Offstein's ethics course was life-changing for me. This class made me ask myself the hard questions 和 think ethically in all avenues of life. I was surprised by how many ethical decisions are made daily, some conscious 和 others not. In this course we were asked to complete five hours of goodness 和 volunteer in the community, which is something I usually would not have done. The reflection paper from the volunteer service made me reflect on what volunteerism really is 和 inspired me to volunteer more in my life.
