Student Testimonials

"I loved the overall sense of community within Adams Brown. Everyone seems to rely on one another, and everyone is willing to help. Overall, I felt very supported during my time here, and I enjoyed the people I worked with."

Geddy Rettele, student worker, Hutchinson, KS

"I enjoyed the people within the organization. Everyone was friendly and always willing to help me when I needed it. They also took the time to get to know my life outside of work, which was nice."

Peyton Strobel, tax staff accountant, Hutchinson, KS

"What I liked most was the variety of things I learned. I’m happy my internship wasn’t limited to simply hardware or business tools, but also included software and analytics. I liked that I felt welcomed and that I had many people to ask questions and an intern site coordinator to go to when I need help. I was able to learn so much because I had a little more autonomy on what I wanted to work on or what projects I wanted to try out."

Eda Barut, IT student worker, Wichita, KS

"The job shadow experience helped me gain a more realistic view of the day to day of being an accountant. Additionally, it helped me better understand the interactions between the accountant and their client. "

Marissa Scott, student, Overland Park, KS

"In my job shadowing experience, I learned if I spend all of my time looking for solutions, rather than just listening, I will miss out on all the key information. Studying accounting and getting to experience it was very eye opening in the most insightful way."

Juan Chavira, student, Overland Park, KS
