Our Graduates: Nell Wentling

Nell, who is from Chicago, will be graduating with a business degree in Marketing, Professional Sales, and Sustainable Business. Which sounds like a lot, but Nell has a lot of energy, and she channels that energy into a very active life that includes basketball whenever she can get a team together.

Nell fuels this active life in part by the myriad snacks she brings in during her shifts. The snacks are always interesting and healthy, and occasionally something I can't identify. I believe her energy also comes from the judicious application of naps – Nell has mastered the art of napping at the break table.

Most of all, though, I think Nell's energy comes from being a genuinely positive person. Never one to get too rattled by anything, Nell always has a smile on her face. It's as if, in Nell's world, there can only be so much time allotted for freaking out when a problem comes along, and then it's down to the business of either fixing what's wrong, or dealing with it as best you can.

Here is a little of that positivity, in her own words: "I've worked at the library since my sophomore year and couldn't be more grateful! From the spirited discussions to the numerous naps, it has been the perfect work environment."


Nell has landed a job with Anheuser Busch and will be shipping out to St. Louis in July to begin training in the sales development program. She will be with us until then, however, which is fortunate, because we will miss her. We are all proud of you Nell – congratulations!
