When Anders was a kid, he would make his parents drive past the Wisconsin School of Business whenever they visited Madison so he could look out the window from the back seat and say, “That’s where I want to go to school someday.” A Direct Admit to the Wisconsin School of Business, Anders is majoring in marketing. He is a Vice President of the Mu Kappa Tau Honorary Marketing Society, and he is the co-founder and former president of the Wisconsin Undergraduate Business Council.
