Tell us about yourself.

I am Brooke Essig, and I am a graduate of CUW. I have an associate degree in accounting from Southwestern Michigan College and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Concordia University Wisconsin. I enjoy reading, baking, and cooking, and going to the beach in my free time.

Why did you choose Concordia?

I chose Concordia Wisconsin because of its welcoming atmosphere and ties to the LCMS (Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod). The underground tunnel system was also a plus for me during the cold and snowy winters.

What is your favorite thing about the accounting program?

One of my favorite aspects was the scheduling process at Concordia. The accounting classes I needed to take were offered every year compared to other schools that only offer them every other year. 

Would you recommend this program to others?

All of the professors are extremely kind and helpful and they want you to succeed. Also, all of the professors have great real-world experiences that they bring into the classroom. I felt the program challenged me and prepared me for when I graduated.

Do you feel professors were supportive?

Yes! The professors in the accounting department were extremely supportive. All of the professors I encountered were always extremely friendly and always willing to help. As a transfer student, Professor Stinson and Dr. Brock went out of their way to make sure my class schedules were correct and that my previous school’s classes transferred over correctly.

What do you love about Concordia University?

I love that Concordia puts an emphasis on Christ. I feel that this makes it a very welcoming and supportive environment for all of its students.  

Make the most of your college experience and get involved with different campus organizations.
