Austin was drawn to study business at SXU because she knew it'd be helpful in any career path. After graduating with her bachelor's degree in business in 2021, Austin chose to continue her education at Saint Xavier because of the knowledgeable faculty she met during her undergrad career. She especially appreciated the real-life experiences they brought to the classroom, which she believes truly helped students understand the business world.
