From Memphis to Clemson: Ben Greene's Journey Through Business Education

Ben Greene, from Memphis, Tennessee, decided to attend Clemson University after a campus tour. Initially planning to study in his home state, he was drawn to Clemson's academic and social environment, which he observed during his visit. The Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business caught his interest with its pre-business curriculum that allows students to explore different business disciplines before choosing a major.

Greene chose to major in business, influenced by his family's background in accounting. His first year included engaging accounting classes that solidified his interest in the field. He decided to double major in accounting and finance, encouraged by positive interactions with faculty, including Kerri McMillian, a principal lecturer in the finance department.

In addition to his studies, Greene participated actively in campus life. He joined a business fraternity, worked as a tour guide, and served as the President of the Powers College of Business Recruiting Ambassadors. These activities enhanced his college experience and deepened his ties to the Clemson community, often referred to as the 'Clemson Family.'

As he nears graduation in spring 2024, Greene is preparing for an internship at KPMG in Charlotte, focusing on audits. He plans to return to Clemson in the fall to pursue a Master of Professional Accountancy (MPAcc), indicating his continued commitment to the university.
