Welcome… I’m your LCC, Emma Neubauer!

I am so excited to meet you in the fall.  I will be a resource for you as you navigate through your first year of college here at Minnesota State University, Mankato!  Being involved with the Business Learning Community will help you academically as well as socially, so utilize me and your peers as much as you can!

Major: Business Management 

How/what made you decide this major? I decided to major in Business Management because I have been surrounded by business owners my whole life, my dad owns his own and lots of relatives do too. I have always loved the idea of being able to take on the role of overseeing a successful business. 

Year in School: Sophomore 

Hometown: LE Center, MN 

Favorite Food: Pasta

 Advice for LC Students: My advice to you is to keep an open mind and use me as much as you can, that is what I am here for. I know how difficult it can be, coming into college not knowing what in the world you’re doing. Remember, that was me too. This LC can be whatever you make it to be.

 The smartest thing you ever did/best decision you ever made: The best decision I have made in my life so far is deciding to do full-time PSEO as a senior in High School. It put me in a place I never imagined to be in as a 19-year-old. 

 Favorite thing about MSU: My favorite thing about MSU is how involved you can get. There are so many clubs and activities to participate in with your friends to get to know others. The resources here are unbelievable once you realize they’re there!

Campus/LC Involvement:  This fall semester I will also be participating in the IBE program. It stands for the Integrated Business Experiment. Basically, I will be with a group of 20-30 other business majors and create a new business. I cannot wait to tell you all about it and hopefully get you to participate too!

Favorite thing to do in Mankato: My favorite thing to do in Mankato is go downtown and see all the historical buildings and fun little shops.

Favorite things to do outside of school/coursework: My favorite thing to do outside of school/work is to hang out with family and friends, preferably at the lake. Summer is my favorite season, so there is never a free chance I have when I am not out by the lake or pool! 

I am so excited to meet all of you, create new friendships, and see you grow throughout your first year at college!
