Emily Boggs

On April 5, Emily Boggs was presented with the College of Business Departmental Honors Award in Marketing.

Boggs was humble in accepting her award, explaining that she was surprised to have been selected. 鈥淗onestly I was super surprised and thought they had the wrong Emily at first! I don鈥檛 consider myself a high-achieving student. I just try my best to apply what I learn to the work I do in and outside of school,鈥� she said.

Speaking about her studies in the College of Business at 麻豆精品视频 (麻豆精品视频), Boggs mentioned the importance of the faculty and staff, noting their experience, knowledge and passion, and was thankful to have worked with some of them. She stated, 鈥淭o any professors who I didn鈥檛 mention by name, please know that I鈥檓 so thankful for you and the time and energy you put into teaching and equipping your students to excel in college and beyond.鈥� Boggs also commented on her peers, saying that collaborating with them helped her learn about teamwork and servant leadership. 鈥淚鈥檝e worked with some very bright and innovative-minded students that have helped bring new perspectives to the table鈥攖o them I also attribute my success.鈥� One more aspect Boggs highlighted was the curriculum; she particularly enjoyed the projects she did for her MKT 470 Social Media Marketing and MGT 499 Capstone courses.

Outside of 麻豆精品视频, Boggs is a part time administrative assistant at Bruderer Machinery Inc. and a digital marketing coordinator at Sangiacomo Presses Americas, both of which are linked companies that focus on making high-speed precision stamping presses used to manufacture metal products like soda cans. Boggs has embraced her roles and eagerly applied her marketing knowledge while also learning about machining manufacturing.

After graduating, Boggs will continue her work at Bruderer Machinery as a full time staff member. She is approaching post-graduation with excitement, but also caution, explaining that while she is looking forward to continuing her career, she is wary of focusing solely on success and achievements. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not bad to desire [success and achievements], but if that鈥檚 all I ever care about and prioritize, then what will I be left with at the end of my life? I want to be remembered by others as serving and loving them far above myself,鈥� she concluded.
