We catch up with Businesses Administration Marketing – Co-op graduating student, Andy Young to learn about what made his NC experience so valuable and memorable.
Tell us why you came to NC and how your dream has evolved?
I came to NC because I was looking for a hands-on learning experience in marketing and loved the welcoming atmosphere.
Tell us your favourite non-academic NC memory
Taking part in a Be World Ready trip to Cork, Ireland was lifechanging. I signed up not knowing anyone and right away made some lifelong friends. It was truly an amazing experience and opportunity to see the world alongside my fellow Knights.
What is one thing you experienced at NC that you didn’t expect?
I didn’t expect to create such great relationships with professors, connecting on a deeper level and having their support through my learning outside the classroom and supporting me in discovering where I wanted to take my career path.
Now that you’re starting your career, what tools did NC give you to set you apart from your peers?
NC gave me practical, hands-on experiences, especially through my capstone class by working with real clients and pitching real ideas for them to implement. Working with real clients and learning about the nature of the Marketing industry was a great tool for me as a student.
Who would you like to thank for helping make your NC journey and dream a reality?
I would like to thank Professor Chris Treschak for always supporting me in and outside the classroom. Chris not only wanted to see my classmates and I achieve good grades, but also excel in the working world.
What is your dream job? If you’ve already landed it, what is it?
My dream job is to work as a Digital Marketing Coordinator in the beverage alcohol industry.
