This Morning At Wabash

Spent part of last week with Scott Crawford, Cassie Hagan, and 13 students on the Colorado Professional Immersion Experience (PIE).  We visited a number of companies in the Denver and Boulder areas.

It was a great trip.  Made me proud.  Several young alumni out there are making real differences in their companies and their impact shines right through.  As I rode around with the students, it was interesting to see their takes on the different organizations as well.

Michael Sanchez ’90 talks with students

Rally Software started the trip with a great presentation.  Rally has been growing at about 30% per year.  Michael Sanchez ’90 gave the guys a tour but more importantly an insight into Rally and the kinds of people Rally is looking for as employees.

Trips like the Colorado PIE give our guys a huge advantage as they work on networking and also trying to figure out what is next for them.  Bottom line, though, hasn’t changed – identify your passion, take any position that gets a foot in the door, work your tail off, and don’t say “No” to an upward move.

A great trip…and the area isn’t bad either!
