I’m incredibly grateful for everything the Sales Center has done to help me launch my career.”
Zach Rhoades, Class of 2026
“I always knew I wanted to go into sales with sales being the majority of job opportunities after graduation. MSU Denver’s selling program, Pi Sigma Epsilon, and amazing faculty were influential in teaching me the value of helping others and building relationships – the heart of sales. Now I have the opportunity to do those things in my sales career!”
Sarah Clark, Class of 2021
“As a first-generation Latina I never considered pursuing a career in sales until I ended up taking classes in the sales program at MSU Denver. My professors set me up for success when it came to pursuing a career I would thrive in. They gave me the tools, skills, attitude, and resources to make me stand out against others. I am happy to say after college I landed in a sales career where I am thriving so much and I owe it to the passionate individuals in the MSU sales program!”
