Who's Who: Ryan Rabe

Wednesday, April 4, 2007

Ryan Rabe knows how to work the system. An accounting and finance major, Rabe figured out his sophomore year that he could make connections and earn money at the same time by becoming a teaching assistant. After taking Finance 310, “Finance,” in the Spring 2005, Rabe enjoyed the course so much that he never left.

Now in his fourth semester of helping teach the class, Rabe, Overland Park senior, has a special attachment to the class. The exposure to a different perspective of campus and the relationships he has made with faculty have drawn him back to help teach each semester. Another benefit of being a TA is the opportunity he gets to work with students.

“I enjoy being able to help people, and it makes you famous,” Rabe said.

He said that students in his section liked him because he gave out extra credit. When Rabe isn’t working as a TA, he spends his time overseeing the Undergraduate Business Council. Rabe worked his way from Food Stop volunteer to president of the UBC, supervising all 11 organizations affiliated with the School of Business.

His commitments leave him little free time, but Rabe said he didn’t regret being heavily involved. Rabe said the experience he has had in college so far would benefit him when he graduates in December and starts full-time work.
