Student Spotlight-Rocco Bueti

Rocco Bueti has big dreams of becoming an actor or writer. Right now, he’s a Management Information Systems (MIS) major with minors in English (film) and Business Analytics. If careers in acting or writing don’t pan out, he plans further schooling to earn an MBA in MIS and to work within a tech department as a computer or business analyst.

The sophomore from Westchester, New York knew UD was right for him after considering a few college choices. He was attracted to UD’s business school, the size of the undergraduate class, and the fact that ample opportunities were available. What really cemented his choice was UD’s beautiful campus, which he continues to enjoy with the great friends he has made.

His UST advisor, Sarah Hutnick, recalls that Rocco came in mostly thinking about business management, but then wanted to explore various options. Ultimately, after doing independent research and listening to a family member talk about their career, he realized that his interests lied more in the MISY side of Management rather than Management itself. Sarah went on to say, “Rocco seems to have a rare knack for both the logical/analytical and the creative/artistic. It was clear that it was very important for Rocco to have both of these elements present in his studies at UD”.

At UD, Rocco says his favorite things include: the many clubs and activities you can be a part of, his wonderful professors, Main Street, and the student centers. Speaking about clubs and activities, Rocco has played on many intramural sports teams and plans to try out for UD club basketball. He is currently a member of STN 49 (a television network run by UD students) where he participates in live shows: “Bi-Weekly” and “Hens Sports Night”. Rocco plans to join a business fraternity in the future.

Rocco’s advice for UST students? “Applying yourself and being ready to learn and succeed is KEY in succeeding here, and in life. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, you never know where that question will lead you in life/school. Fear is the worst thing to fall to, don’t let yourself be scared to try something”.

Student Spotlight-Natalie Hirn

Natalie, a junior from York, PA fell in love with UD’s campus and all of the activities that the university had to offer. The study abroad programs she learned about also inspired Natalie to attend UD, as it was important for her to pick a school that provided educational traveling experiences.

When Natalie was admitted to UD, she was set on studying to become a physician’s assistant or speech pathologist and began her undergraduate career as a cognitive science major. Within the first few weeks of her first year, Natalie quickly realized her major wasn’t a match and made a change to health behavior science. From there, after taking an introductory business class, she later decided that she would rather pursue business instead! In addition, Natalie had always been in love with fashion and the fashion industry, but was afraid to take the leap into such a competitive field. After taking an introductory Fashion class, she decided to follow her dream and complete a degree she was passionate about, rather than one she was struggling with. Now, Natalie is a marketing major with a fashion management minor.

Natalie feels that University Studies afforded her the flexibility to take a wide range of classes, which allowed her to discover what she liked and didn’t. As a result of meeting with her advisor and completing her own research, she found the programs that were right for her. Natalie also realized that although she changed her mind several times before solidifying her path, spending time exploring was worthwhile. Natalie hopes to pursue a career in the fashion business. She is considering working in public relations, as a buyer, or merchandiser in New Your City. The options are limitless! Currently, Natalie is also very involved with RSOs and Greek Life on campus.

Words of wisdom for current UST students: “In the end, your major does not always define your career path! Enjoy life as a college student and take classes that are intriguing, fun, and excite you about your future.”
