“Wittenberg is a magical place.  It may sound cliché, but I can tell you that if you are focused about what you want, you can achieve any goal that you set your mind to while attending this school.  There is every resource a student could ask for at Wittenberg, not to mention some of the most kind-hearted people I have ever met.” – Brian Hertzog ’12
For as long as he can remember, Brian Hertzog has had a passion for business, and more importantly, for adding value to the world.
“After my first few classes at Wittenberg, I was sure that this was the area of study for me,” says Hertzog, who held a leadership position with Wittenberg’s Center for Applied Management on campus, among other activities.
The opportunity to grow and learn from Wittenberg’s nationally recognized faculty enriched his Wittenberg experience even more.
“I have been very fortunate to have some fantastic and inspiring professors in my four years. Their passion for teaching has inspired my own desire to continue my education throughout my entire life. I also have to thank my parents for being inspiring figures for me. Their encouragement and support has kept me motivated every year.”
After earning his diploma on May 12, Hertzog plans to head west to California.
“I will be moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue my dream of working with start-up companies and visionary entrepreneurs. There is no better place in the world for this sort of work than in Silicon Valley.” Â
