If you had the chance to enter an MBA program, go to medical school or fulfill a finance or hospital management internship in Brazil, which would you choose? Each choice represents the first step on a path toward a bright future. Each is an excellent choice to fulfill your ambitions and pursue a passion. Most of us have never had to make a choice like this yet this is exactly the enviable dilemma that faces alumnus, Kurt Brandley.
Kurt graduated from NMU this spring with a degree in economics. He is an outstanding example of the sort of high-achieving, socially conscious student that NMU continues to attract in higher and higher numbers every year. Kurt is the recipient of six scholarships, was nominated outstanding student (five times) and is a NMU Board of Trustees Outstanding Graduating Senior. He is a Marquette County outstanding volunteer, member of the Mortar Board Senior Honor Society, President of Elder Errands, Cum Laude graduate and the list goes on.
In fact, the list of Kurt’s achievements is so long, we’ve created a special page in order to list them. Take a look at the Learn More links and you’ll see why Kurt is another amazing Wildcat who we can all be proud of.
