McCombs BBA accounting student, Ricky Berens (right with Gilligan), showed off the gold medal he won while swimming for the U.S. Olympic team in Beijing. Berens spoke at the McCombs Advisory Council meeting about the hard work and determination it took to achieve his goal of making the team while also attending school at McCombs.

I really enjoyed listening to Ricky Berens share his experience and perspective.
He included that swimming taught him three important things for life:
1) Time Management
2) Goal Setting
3) Perseverance
Berens jokingly included that his father was a CPA and when he was exploring career options his father recommended against the profession, so he “took his advice.” It was quite funny.
But in all seriousness, I’m sure his father is very proud that his son is not only a gold medal winner, but also a student in the best accounting program in the country.
