Alumni Highlight
Kyla Hovda
BBA in Finance 2013
Senior Project Manager, Microsoft
I was born and raised in Fairbanks. After graduating from high school, my goal was
to attend college outside of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. I visited several universities and worked with
my parents on a budget, and had a hard time signing up for a $120,000 education. I
decided to give ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ a try. I took the Introduction to Business course and was hooked!
The College of Business and Security Management (CBSM) is an incredibly supportive school. As a student, I felt comfortable swinging by my professors’ offices to ask questions about homework assignments, receive guidance on job interviews, or to say hello. The openness and readiness to help students is a positive trait that makes CBSM one of the best schools on campus. Through my involvement with the Student Investment Fund (SIF) and the Associated Students of Business, I made great friends and had amazing opportunities.
Donor support made my educational experience possible through scholarships and backing student groups like SIF. Our support provides students with memories and experiences that will shape the rest of our lives. I hope you will join me as I come full circle and contribute to the success of future students.
