Accounting Co-op at Messer Construction

“My co-op experience has helped me to devote more focused time to studying and allowed me to be more disciplined in the classroom. I realized how important time management was in the business world and decided to apply it to my personal life. The longer I was at Messer the more I saw the value of working harder in the classroom, I wanted to show Messer I could rise to the top by working for it.” Brandon Michael, Accounting major, class of 2016
