Hi everyone, my name is Carson LaFemina; I am a Sophomore Management major with an intended minor in Business Law. I grew up in Niantic, Connecticut and I just finished my first internship this summer at a law firm in New London while also working at Big Y in Old Lyme as a Head Cashier. At UConn, I am the Vice President of the Business Connections Learning Community and I compete for its Mock Trial team. I knew as soon as I arrived at UConn that I would want to get deeply involved in the clubs and organizations that the university had to offer, and through my time I have developed real leadership and professional skills that will prove useful to me after graduation. As I work towards my goal of attending law school, I look forward to connecting with like minded students and promoting the various resources of the School of Business as a Management Ambassador.

Hi everyone my name is Joaquín Uribe, I am an international student from Ecuador, I am a sophomore with a management major. Excited about this year and the new objectives. This is my first year working part-time as a TA for the Entrepreneurial Journey class. One of my favorite classes from last semester I encourage you to take it, it’s easy, fun, and great to develop your business skills.  I have become familiar with the courses and activities that are around the UConn business community and I have managed to form a good network of professors and students which has helped me a lot for future opportunities and goals throughout my academic year. I currently work with Daigle Labs and get to go on mission trips around the world and learn about the startup world. One of my recommendations is that you integrate a lot in any area that seems interesting to you, find out, and connect with people, because this business community has incredible scope for anything you want to do. It is not enough to say that I have felt very comfortable with the treatment that the school gives me when I am not clear about some things, the attention to the student is very welcoming. I have also got involved in Greek life and it’s pretty fun and nice since it enlarges my network.
