Why did you choose our Management as your major?

I chose the Management major because my goal is to be a business attorney. The Management curriculum at Ole Miss allowed me to gain key insights into how organizations operate, how strategies are implemented, and decision-making skills. I was also able to develop leadership skills and identity the type of leader I want to be. These are tools that I will directly carry with me in my future endeavors.

What faculty or staff member has made a significant impact on your college experience and why?

Adjunct Professor David Flautt taught my Business Law class my sophomore year. His real-world experience in the legal field made this class very interesting. Through his teachings and conversations outside of class, I realized that I wanted to be a lawyer. He was extremely supportive of all of his students and made the course relatable. He even wrote me a recommendation letter for a scholarship after I took his course.
