On a typical day in her life as a Viterbo University business student, you might find Taylor Wiedemann meeting corporate customers as part of her internship at Trane, or back on campus working on a market research project for an innovative local start-up.
The practical focus of her studies appeals to Wiedemann, a senior from West Salem who is double-majoring in marketing and management and leadership at Viterbo’s Dahl School of Business.
“It’s been a really great experience,” Wiedemann said of her internship at Trane in La Crosse. “I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of global customers visiting Trane offices and it’s paid, which is great, and we have a pretty flexible schedule.”
Wiedemann is a transfer student and came to Viterbo after getting an associate’s degree in business management at Western Technical College. She was considering transferring to a public university, until she saw how much easier it was to transfer to Viterbo.
“Viterbo offers some really great transfer scholarships, so that was a big help,” Wiedemann said.
