Baylor seniors Sarah Rost and Ashley Rich walked into their 8 a.m. business class last Friday expecting an ordinary day. Instead, they left with full-time job offers. This past summer, Rost and Rich interned in the human resources department at AT&T’s Dallas headquarters. Last Friday, their 4000-level class on human resources was interrupted by a […]
