Clint Rushing was 12 years old when his grandfather,
a retired Omaha banker, bought him his first shares in
PepsiCo. Nearly a decade later, Rushing is looking
forward to starting a career in investment banking.
Though his career path may have been determined in
part by his genes, his success during college is the
product of Rushing's own dedication and hard work.
During the past four years, he has served as president
of the Financial Management Association, vice
president of Delta Sigma Pi, a business fraternity, and
was chosen to be one of 13 UNOmaha ambassadors
to represent the university in 2000-2001.
He's quick to credit the people who've been there to support him for four years. "The biggest thing is the quality of the faculty here. The teachers have worked in the field of what they're teaching now. That really helps you as a student to link the classroom to real-life material. They know what they're talking about - they've been out there, they've seen it and they know how to apply it." Finance is an exciting field, Rushing says, and he looks forward to jumping into the investment arena. Someday he may even elect to enter politics, with aspirations of becoming a senator. With his education background and career experience, he says, he will have "a good foundation for running fiscal policy." His career choice will likely take him to a major U.S. city, but Rushing says he plans to stay connected to CBA. "I want to keep ties with the people here. I'll help the college in any way I can." |
