Tommie Moments: Cole Wentzel '23
St. Thomas: Great Place, Great Culture
"When I think of St. Thomas, I think of the people. Finding a great place with a great culture begins with the people. Peers in classes, professors, staff – everyone was ahead of the game in terms of professionalism and strong work ethic. When you bring a group together with these skills, good things tend to happen."
Now an advisor at Northwestern Mutual in the Twin Cities, Cole offers advice to current Tommies:
"Try to make as many connections as you can. Get to know people from all walks of life. You only get so much time in college – it flies by so quickly! When a friend asks you to hang out or go do something, say 'yes' and get to know as many people as you can. Those connections can last a lifetime, and they will pay off."
