MADDIE MITCHELL<br />
worked at a Target store in St.<br />
Louis during high school and<br />
developed an admiration for<br />
the human resources officer.<br />
“Whenever we had an issue, we<br />
went to her, and she helped us<br />
figure it out. She was just there for<br />
everybody.” So as Mitchell looked<br />
for a university in a warm locale,<br />
majoring in management with a<br />
concentration in human resources<br />
at the Mitchell College of Business<br />
seemed perfect. Earning a Mitchell<br />
Scholarship sealed the deal.<br />
Human resources appealed to<br />
her as “a good mix of numbers<br />
and people.” She soon realized<br />
the complexity of that mix. “In<br />
management, you aren’t just<br />
learning about people and<br />
managing them, but you also<br />
do delve into the numbers side<br />
or the marketing. I learned the<br />
importance of having something<br />
that you’re strong in besides just<br />
managing people.” Eventually, she<br />
would like to work at a staffing<br />
agency that supplies workers for<br />
businesses in a variety of industries.<br />
