As a quintessential hippie type, my Evergreen experience did little to prepare me for business per se because at the time I had zero orientation towards business. However, my academic experience taught me how to access knowledge and gave me solid organizational, research, writing, and verbal skills which have definitely helped my business experience. Evergreen really has an incredible faculty! David Hitchens, Rita Pougiales and others were great mentors for my Evergreen journey. As a student that did primarily independent contracts with these mentors, I gained a lot of self-confidence by pursuing projects that were explored in depth which resulted in some significant pieces of written work.
