Sasha Stefanovic, Online MSHRM ’22, is already known to Boilermaker faithful as a former standout on the Purdue men’s basketball team. He also made a name for himself in the classroom, earning both a bachelor’s degree in finance and his master’s in HR from the Daniels School of Business. His strong work ethic never wavered.
“My parents emigrated from Serbia and Macedonia and worked in steel mills, so that blue-collar ethic was instilled in me early in life,” Stefanovic says. “I think Purdue reflects the same values and characteristics. We’ve had a lot of group projects as part of my master’s program, and everyone is hardworking and focused on doing their best.”
"The courses I have taken at Purdue University are rigorous and stimulating. They encourage you to become a four-dimensional thinker, a thinker who not only focuses on mastering the field, but can also adapt and absorb ideas from other industries, can analyze problems vertically and horizontally, and knows how to use past failures as stepstones to take a giant leap forward into the future. Purdue is preparing its students to be analytical when faced with problems and training them to make informed decisions."
