Natalia is in the CCSU Business School, class of 2019, with a dual major in Management and Marketing. She stood out among a strong pool of finalists for not only a high GPA, and strong references from professors, but because she exhibits the go-getter work ethic Juran seeks in scholars who will be a source of excellence for employers managing for quality. Natalia is Vice President of her Marketing Club, a Student Government Senator representing commuters, volunteers as a tutor to a home-schooled student, and is a coach for Newington High School’s tennis team.
