This Hamline student takes care of business


Business administration major Dammy Williams' '23 focus on the future has opened new doors.

When Williams secured a job at the Hamline School of Business in her first year at Hamline, she saw the position as an "opportunity to gain more insight in the business field,鈥 she said. 

As she grew more comfortable in the position, she found herself growing in more ways than she imagined. The job has provided her with soft skills that helped in her coursework, especially in the management classes, she said.

鈥淪ince I had experience, I was more confident in leading projects in class and managing a team,鈥 Williams explained. 

In addition to her job and classes, Williams works with a mentor assigned through the School of Business Career Mentor Program. The program has helped her identify her strengths and make progress toward a career in international business. It's helped her clarify her goals in a way that coursework hasn't, she added.

鈥淚 was not sure what career I wanted to specifically focus on when I graduate,鈥 Williams said.
