Name: Benjamin Sydnes
Position: Treasurer
Email: Benjamin.sydnes@temple.edu
Prior BHSA Experience: None
Major(s): Finance, International Business and Spanish
Expected Graduation Date: May 2009
Academic Interests/Goals: I plan to pursue and MBA and eventually start my own company based in either high technology or real estate. I also have a great interest in history aside from business.
Favorite aspect of going to Temple: The students and professors each bring a unique background and perspective on business that is available nowhere else. My friends study multiple areas of business and are interested in different languages and other subjects which add an entire new level to working with them. Professors often have field experience with companies and can give excellent advice on choosing a career based upon personal experience.
Favorite BHSA memory: Without question, the banquets at the end of the year are the best of any organization. For the Spring of 2006 the Ben Franklin hotel was the site of the end of the year events and everything was spectacular! The officers worked exceptionally well together to find and finance everything. The overall result was far better than anyone had anticipated.
Interesting fact about yourself: I play golf and lacrosse in addition to my academics. In the last three years I have won two tournaments in golf and played several others. The next summer I plan to compete in the US Amateur qualifying series and hopefully make it to the final tournament.
