“I use my NAU Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree daily, from collaboration to communication and education. NAU educated me using real-life examples that I refer to daily and use to mentor my team. Leadership is a journey and without the lessons I learned in the NAU BBA program, I never would have been a successful leader in a Fortune 100 company.”
