Craig School of Business at Fresno State

Meet Reba Hale! Reba is a Business Administration major with an option in Human Resources Management. Her career goal is to be a Human Resources director and she is graduating this semester! As a first-generation student, Reba has always wanted to feel like she’s made something of herself. With graduation right around the corner she is feeling extremely proud! COVID-19 changed some of her initial career plans, but she is excited to announce she accepted an offer into the ...University Program at Amazon and will be starting Summer 2021 as a Sr. Human Resources Assistant. Reba wants to encourage her peers, especially during these times, to continue to work hard and take things day by day. She has made it a priority to watch her lectures as if they were normal in-person courses. Reba wants her peers to know they can accomplish anything they set their mind to, even in hard times. Reba states, No class is too hard for you to take or pass. I hear too many times people say college isn’t for me or I couldn’t take those classes you take because I’m not smart enough and that is just not true! No class is too hard, you can literally achieve anything and learn any concept if you take the time to do it. Everything is within reach. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation, Reba! We are #CraigSchoolProud

Business Alum Creates Sebastian Boot Company for Luxury Footwear! Scott Peters, used his marketing degree and business education to kickstart his entrepreneurial career in hopes of aligning his luxury footwear company amongst some of the largest fashion houses in the industry. Peters, who graduated from Fresno State in May, has always been interested in fashion and owns a collection of boots, but he found his traditional cowboy boots were incredibly ill-fitting. He sought a s...olution. He took his knowledge from an apprenticeship at a local leather and footwear repair shop and set out to make the nicest pair of boots possible. There were many days of designing and consulting with his professors regarding his business and Peters took advantage of Fresno State’s many resources whenever he could.
