Our Graduates: Kayla Rode

 

Our congratulations go to Kayla, a graduating senior from Avon with a major in Business Marketing and Operations Management and a minor in Event Planning.  Kayla joined our staff as a freshman, and she has come a long way since then.  She won our Caught in the Act Award during her sophomore year, and as a junior she was promoted to our Senior Circulation Assistant position.  Also during her junior year, she was nominated by the I.C. staff and named Indiana University's Student Employee of the Year.

Kayla considers meeting and knowing her co-workers and supervisors to be the best part of her BUSP experience.  She claims the patience shown to her and the flexibility offered by her position made her college life a little less stressful.  She hopes you will take the time to get to know the people around you, especially your supervisors and other staff members.  She believes it will make working here much more enjoyable.  She says you don't really know what you have in common with someone else unless you make the effort to find out.  

After graduation, Kayla will be heading to St. Louis where she will be working for Anheuser-Busch.  She'll be there for six months as a Sales Management Training, then she'll be transferred to another location for her first official position.  Kayla has accomplished much in her four years at IU and the IC, but we believe that is a drop in the bucket compared to how far she will go when she leaves us.  

We are so glad we have had the opportunity to work with and know Kayla, and wish her well upon her graduation.  She tells us she will stop by whenever she passes through Bloomington.  Please do, Kayla!  We can catch up over a beer.  Your brand, of course.
