    "Andrew (Mitchell, Assistant Director) has been a great help throughout all of this. I had gotten to the point where I was losing hope, and Andrew never gave up on me... It was the kind of thing where, obviously people are willing to help, but I didn't expect anyone to go to that extent."

  • Riley Burns, Product Cost Data Analyst, New Balance

    "When I first started applying for jobs, I knew I wanted to go into financial analytics. I needed more analytical experience, so I started an internship at the Center for Business Analytics. As soon as I started talking about my experience at the Center, companies wanted to hear it. I received resources to help guide me in the application process, including the Assistant Director, Andrew Mitchell, who referred me to a job I got an offer at. I accepted a job at New Balance, and I'm super excited to work there."

  • Corey McConville, Financial Analyst, Stonyfield

    "They (the Center) put on a lot of networking events. They would help you print your resume, take pictures for your LinkedIn... there were two job fairs where they had representatives come from all kinds of businesses around the New Hampshire and Boston area. That was useful, to get to talk to people in the field... it was good practice and opened a couple doors for sure."

"The Center for Business Analytics [...] is absolutely critical in New Hampshire to bring small businesses together to share knowledge, learn and connect with students and researchers in this emerging area. It lifts all boats, so to speak - students, faculty, the university, and businesses."
- Bryan Belanger '10, '11G MB, Senior Director at Technology Business Research, Inc.

"The Center is going to be a hub of innovation and quality when it comes to data science. It implements a cohesive environment where students from different majors can work together and all benefit from each other's experience."
- Ali Mara, '25G PhD Economics, Student Consultant & Analyst, Center for Business Analytics

"As Assistant Director, I'm focused on building an experiential learning hub centered not just around current UNH students, faculty, and staff, but also alumni and industry... Already I've learned a million-and-one things at the Center, and I've only become more excited about the work we're doing."
