Everyone has their own personal Waldo. For some, he is a goal that will take a lifetime to accomplish, such as becoming rich beyond their wildest dreams. For others, he is a person, someone who will supposedly complete them in such a way as to make all of their problems disappear.

What makes this community special is our interest in mathematics, and desire to give back to our local community...

To be a part of a prestigious undergraduate business school is an honor, and I would like to continue the tradition of success obtained from students graduating from Ross. Having visited Ross and the entire campus last July, I immediately knew this college would be a fit for me...
