Mary (Mahon) Pudell: The Mentor

On her first day in a CMU business class, Mary (Mahon) Pudell, ‘05, knew she’d chosen the right school when a professor came into the classroom and asked the student sitting next to her how his summer internship had gone.

Pudell, who graduated summa cum laude from Lake Michigan College with an associate degree in business administration and transferred to CMU from Western Michigan University, had never seen that kind of teacher/student interaction.

“The professors here really care about our success. I don’t think I would have gotten the same great opportunities if I hadn’t come to CMU,” Pudell said. “After finding my niche here as a tutor and mentor, I think my ultimate dream job would be as a CMU professor.”

Thanks to her exceptional SAP skills, five companies offered her a job.
