"The quantitative lessons I learned at Aesop Academy have proven extremely valuable, I really do find myself using the Excel and analysis skills from Aesop Academy nearly every day. Aesop Academy has also taught me how to utilize my liberal arts education to its fullest potential by applying critical thinking skills to technical projects. I am now equipped with the technical, professional, and speaking skills to pursue a career in business. I’m so grateful for AESOP for teaching such practical skills”

“The “soft skills” I learned at Aesop helped me gain confidence as a liberal arts college student. For LACs, the recruiting process happens mostly through people - alumni, friends, people you’ve met on campus. After discussing the importance of building genuine professional relationships, not just “networking,” I reached out to and had many interesting conversations with Haverford alumni. I am confident that Aesop will inspire many more students and help them grow as well-rounded professionals. That’s exactly why I have continued as a Coach ever since”

“I decided to be a skills coach for AESOP because I wanted to give back to the program that gave me extensive knowledge about the career world I would enter post graduation. The program aided my professional development both in soft and hard skills. These essential tools provided me with an edge coming out of a liberal arts education when applying for internships and jobs in consulting. Ever since joining the team at AESOP I have enjoyed teaching and mentoring younger students to reach their full potential!”

“AESOP introduced me to the world of analytics. With Panos’ help, I was able to perform complex analyses on a variety of mock client scenarios, provide strategic recommendations and create executive-friendly deliverables. Panos devoted hours of his spare time to ensure that liberal arts students, like myself, are equipped with the business skills necessary to thrive in the corporate world. I effectively became a consultant overnight and I wouldn’t have done it so seamlessly without Panos’ guidance. He instilled confidence in myself and in my abilities that I absolutely needed"

“From the second you walk in the class, Panos wastes no time teaching you important business analytical skills and by the first few hours, you are already completing tasks analysts do. The course throws students into mock business scenarios tasking students with analyzing the information, using Excel and Tableau, and collaborating in groups to present to a panel. For any college student looking to work in any finance related industry, ASEOP is a great place to learn how to separate yourself in a competitive job market.”

“No matter what you study, knowing how to interpret data in a meaningful and efficient way is an incredibly practical skill. The AESOP Academy team taught me how to understand the language of big cryptic data and relay it to others in a digestible manner. Over the days I spent learning with the team, my expertise in applications like Excel and Tableau grew exponentially, and from such a solid foundation I have expanded those skills even more. Panos’ passion for this program was clear from day one- the excitement he brought made me excited, and his confidence in our potential has empowered me to develop skills I never thought I could. Becoming a part of this community was unexpected but undoubtedly one of the most invaluable parts of my college experience thus far. ”
