Meet a Few of Our Students

One of the most impactful aspects has been completing honors contracts within my business courses, where I take on additional responsibilities such as research projects and in-depth analysis. These experiences have strengthened my ability to think critically, analyze data, and present insights—skills that directly align with the work I will be doing at Dominion Energy after graduation.
