Why Wisconsin?

"As a prospective student athlete with aspirations in business, the Wisconsin School of Business and their Direct Admit program is a proven leader among all other Division 1 schools. Athletically, after developing relationships with the coaching staff and athletes during the Camp of Champs, I already felt as if I was a part of their family. This, combined with their consistent athletic accomplishments made committing to the University of Wisconsin an easy choice"
