BUS 101: A Game Changer
"I couldn't be more grateful to have been in Ms. Cooper's BUS 101 class last semester. I came to UAB as a marketing major, being a newly turned 18-year-old thinking I had everything figured out. After taking her class I realized I actually hated marketing and ended up switching to accounting! It is so crazy to me because growing up I was NEVER a math person or ever expected to be going into a profession where that's the large majority of what I'll be doing. It really goes to show you how life just kind of works out that way. Also, because we got the opportunity to attend a virtual event where professors from each major in the college got to talk to us about the different opportunities and clubs within each of them, I met Professor Nabors, joined Beta Alpha Psi, and have met some of the most amazing people! She was such an amazing teacher, and the class had such an impact on me. I am where I am supposed to be and on the right track to do great things!"
