96 THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Sebastian F. Schoelen SEBASTIAN F. SCHOELEN, Bachelor of Arts in management and leadership, chose his program because he wants to be a manager who people want to have rather than one they loath to have. He was inspired by his mother, who was born in Iran and fled the revolution to Germany before coming to the United States. She completed her degree in accounting at PSU. His father, also a college graduate, helped him create balance between working, going to school and homework — which was invaluable. While at PSU, his most memorable experience was meeting with his team processes team. Of the dozens of group projects he’s had, this team had some of the best people he’s ever met at PSU. For fun, he loves doing art and his favorite mediums of artistic expression are fashion, interior design and furniture making. After graduation, he plans to take the summer off to make up for the past year and then hopes to go into project management or interior design for a career. He would like to thank PCC instructor Heather Griffo for being the reason he became a business major, and PSU instructor Michael Dimond and professors Tien James and Ellen West for being inspiring role models.
