Lerner: How have you grown from your freshman year at UD to now?

 

Natter: In my four years at UD, I have built more confidence and drive. I have learned that I am capable of almost anything and the people I’ve met at UD helped me understand that.

 

 

Lerner: Were you involved in any extracurricular activities? If so, how did they shape your experience at UD?

 

Natter: I was the Community Council President for George Read, played club volleyball, was a brother of Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity and a member of the Lerner Diversity Council. Overall, these organizations taught me how to work with a team and be successful. Whether it was winning a game or working on a new project, I learned how to better communicate with people and bring out our best.

 

 

Lerner: What does being a “Lifelong Lerner” mean to you?

 

Natter: Being a Lifelong Lerner means that I can adapt to any situation and find success anywhere I go. The Lerner community ensures that everyone is well prepared for whatever they may encounter next.

 

 

Lerner: What was the most memorable course that you took at Lerner?

 

 

Natter: The most memorable course I took at Lerner was Corporate Governance with Charles Elson. I am extremely grateful to have had a professor who truly pioneered the field of corporate governance and I learned so much because of it.

 

 

Lerner: What was your favorite UD experience?

 

 

Natter: My favorite UD experience was going to the men’s basketball CAA Championship that punched our ticket into March Madness. I am so happy I got to experience that with all my friends before I graduated.

 

 

Lerner: What are your plans following graduation?

 

Natter: Following graduation, I will be working in the Corporate Analyst Development program at J.P. Morgan Chase. I am thrilled for the opportunity, and I know that it was only made possible because of the people that have helped me throughout my time at Lerner.
