Why Wesleyan?

My brother, Dr. Chris Udovich (he wasn't "Dr. Udovich" at that time), attended IWU from 1989-93. I fell in love with the school when I would come down to visit him. The atmosphere always felt like home. |
Your major?

Business Administration |
Favorite professor or class?
|
Professor Fred Hoyt (marketing) and my "May Term" class where we traveled and studied all over China. Professor Hoyt always had great insight into life and how to look at things. My trip to China opened my eyes to the world and what it had to offer. |

I traveled around the world working for Cap Gemini and then decided I really wanted to move to Hollywood and make movies. |
