Undergraduate Institution: Sewanee: The University of The South

Undergraduate Major: Geology

Tell us about yourself: Hello everyone! My name is Wesley House and I am currently in the MSF program at UT. I recently graduated from Sewanee: The University of The South where I played baseball and majored in geology. In my free time I love to golf, fly-fish, grill out, and hunt.

What is your proudest accomplishment? My proudest accomplishment is being named to the SAA All-Conference team for baseball this last spring, following my senior season. Receiving this honor was a great way to complete a big chapter of my life.

What drew you to apply to the MSF program? After working as a geologist for two summers at a privately held E&P company in Houston, I found the business development and financial side of the industry more interesting. With a degree in geology, I now have a good understanding of the technical side of the industry but would like to become more well-rounded in my knowledge of the business. While deciding on what to pursue following undergrad, it became clear to me that the MSF program at McCombs would be a great fit for what I was looking for.

What are you most looking forward to this year? I am most looking forward to meeting people from a vast variety of background and interests, both students and prospective employers. I’m looking forward to making the most of all the resources that this program has to offer and I can’t wait to see where everyone in our class ends up.
