William

William is from Crown Point, Indiana.  He is a Public Relations and Rhetorical Advocacy major with a minor in Organizational Leadership and Supervision.  After graduating from Purdue, he plans to pursue a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from North Carolina or Purdue.  His ultimate goal is to become the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. 

He is actively working to gain the skills needed to succeed in the business world through his class work, campus involvement, and internships.  He is the Brand Ambassador for HP/Intel, on the Student Marketing Board for Coca-Cola, and a volunteer for Purdue Trademark and Licensing. 

William shares how he uses his childhood experiences as motivation.   “My childhood was very difficult for me, so just thinking of how I used to live drives me to be the best at whatever I do.  I want to accomplish things that most people think are impossible and be the first person in my family to become an executive of a large corporation”.

Even though William has proven to be a fearless at overcoming obstacles, setting goals and achieving, he admits that he does have a fear of heights and spiders.
