- [00:00:00.596](snappy instrumental music)
- [00:00:03.311]Hi, my name is Matt Sleister.
- [00:00:05.203]I am from Fremont, Nebraska.
- [00:00:07.336]And I am graduating here from the university
- [00:00:09.098]with a major in Management.
- [00:00:10.776]Today I'm gonna sit down with my parents, Julie and Matt.
- [00:00:13.939]Thanks, guys, for talking with me today.
- [00:00:16.445]So, I have a couple questions for ya.
- [00:00:18.237]What were the most important reasons you
- [00:00:20.033]encouraged me to go to Nebraska?
- [00:00:22.103]I would say that we knew you wanted to come down to
- [00:00:25.223]Lincoln, and a bigger school, and since Nebraska had
- [00:00:27.764]joined the Big 10 and made a lot of strides academically.
- [00:00:31.273]We were very confident you would do well here,
- [00:00:33.610]and we're very excited to come down here.
- [00:00:35.615]What worries did you have when I went to college,
- [00:00:37.568]and how did you address those?
- [00:00:39.302]Well, coming from a class size of 30, we were
- [00:00:42.093]worried that you might lose your focus.
- [00:00:44.590]In high school, there was always somebody there
- [00:00:46.121]to keep you accountable.
- [00:00:47.533]We assumed that would stop.
- [00:00:49.441]Fortunately, we were wrong.
- [00:00:51.222]Your classes at UNL kept you engaged,
- [00:00:53.166]and they seemed to keep you challenged.
- [00:00:55.413]How do you feel with our family's overall
- [00:00:57.210]experience with the College of Business Administration?
- [00:00:59.855]I thought it was very rewarding for you,
- [00:01:01.796]especially with Nebraska offering
- [00:01:03.934]a Sales Certificate program.
- [00:01:06.145]I never heard of anything like that.
- [00:01:07.586]I thought that was tremendous, especially up your alley
- [00:01:10.059]because ever since you were even young,
- [00:01:12.058]you'd talked about wanting to get into Sales.
- [00:01:15.269]The fact that CBA also acknowledges your success
- [00:01:17.965]at UNL makes us very proud.
- [00:01:20.413]I would absolutely have no problem recommending
- [00:01:22.074]to any other parents that are looking at Nebraska
- [00:01:23.883]to come down here and get a business education.
- [00:01:26.960]How do you feel the College of Business
- [00:01:27.941]has changed me and prepared me for success?
- [00:01:30.972]The sales competition in Georgia was an incredible
- [00:01:34.297]opportunity, where you were able
- [00:01:36.103]to get some hands-on experience.
- [00:01:38.864]Learning how to give a presentation, which is
- [00:01:40.631]the backbone of sales.
- [00:01:42.486]No one else we know studying business has
- [00:01:43.921]had that opportunity.
- [00:01:45.662]Now with that being said, your marketing and management
- [00:01:47.574]classes we feel have given you a well-rounded education,
- [00:01:51.186]which we're excited about.
- [00:01:52.405]Now that I graduate tomorrow morning, what do you feel
- [00:01:54.171]is the value of getting a Nebraska degree?
- [00:01:56.962]Well, we're certainly excited that you're getting
- [00:01:58.349]your degree, but I think the value of getting your degree
- [00:02:00.638]from Nebraska and CBA, just the guest speakers you had,
- [00:02:05.035]the internship opportunities you had down here,
- [00:02:08.037]hands-on real world type stuff, is going to
- [00:02:10.500]serve you very well.
- [00:02:11.527]We're very excited that you got your degree
- [00:02:12.631]from the University of Nebraska.
- [00:02:14.662]Thank you for letting me start something
- [00:02:15.978]at the College of Business Administration.
- [00:02:17.977]Matthew, we are very proud of you.
- [00:02:19.441]Thank you.
- [00:02:20.859]We're also very excited that you already
- [00:02:22.437]have a job opportunity, even before you graduated,
- [00:02:25.135]and did so well at the University of Nebraska.
- [00:02:28.047]Thanks, Mom and Dad.
- [00:02:28.931]Love you. Love you guys.
- [00:02:29.978]Go Big Red.
