Igniting a Passion for Scholarship

The general business foundation I received at MPC prepared me very well for Cal Poly. Aside from the technical accounting skills I was taught at MPC, I was introduced to other aspects of the business realm and how Accounting played a key role. This sparked a curiosity that still lives with me today.
