Post by TCU Neeley Fellows

The Neeley Fellows Program recently traveled to Austin for an immersive experience focused on understanding life after graduation, both professionally and personally. During site visits with Dell Technologies, Whole Foods Market, and Cisco, Neeley Fellows engaged with professionals across a range of roles and industries. These conversations provided valuable insight into different career paths while highlighting the day-to-day realities of working in fast-paced, evolving organizations. We are grateful to the professionals who contributed their time and perspectives throughout the trip, including: At Dell Technologies: Lauren Gray, Serena Nguyen, Diane Zanner, Max Zieky, Cailyr Mertz, Conor Hartman, Alex Simchuk, Manmay Avashia, and Hugh McPherson. At Whole Foods Market: Eleni Kapetanakis, Elise Forzley, and Nicole Hood. At Cisco: Carrie Palin, Ashley Gemoets, Savanna Simmank, Joshua Caldwell, and Massimo Malizia. The trip also included an alumni dinner, where students connected with TCU and Neeley Fellows alumni who continue to invest in the program and its students. Thank you to those who attended and contributed to meaningful conversations throughout the evening, including Harris Podell, Garrett Grim, Conor Hartman, Ashley Gemoets, Jun Ha Seo, Reilly Cornell, Ashley Richelsen, Emma Culhane, Alex Simchuk, Dylan Servais, and Haley Freeney. Experiences like this continue to reinforce the strength of the Neeley Fellows network, as students learn directly from those who have walked the path before them.
