“Randolph-Macon has prepared me for my career journey by always pushing me to be my best. One of my business professors helped me find an internship which helped lead me to the job that I have now. Another professor held a class called “Tax Accounting,” which has been thoroughly beneficial for tax season. Without the professors of RMC, I would not be the person that I am today, nor have the career that I love.”
