Testimonials
From 2012
"Knacktive
really put the 'real world' into perspective for me and made me
realize that this experience will benefit me in the long-run. I am better
prepared for graduation and obtaining a full-time job in my field. Not only did
Knacktive give me the experience and opportunity verify that I am in the right
major, but also gave me the opportunity to prove to myself that I have learned
a lot from my time at Northwest by having to teach others about my field of
expertise."
Jenny Hoffman
"In
Knacktive, you have to work on a team, and if you’re not talking to each other,
nothing’s going to get done. It’s a huge lesson in communication, which a lot
of companies are looking for."
Ian Stanek
"Knacktive was a great
way to gain experience in my dream career. Through the project, I found
that project management is something I am passionate about and the right path
for my future."
Darcy Epstein
"I am so glad I was pushed to join Knacktive last
semester, I didn't truly realize how much it really prepared us, I know what to
expect at an agency, the process isn't completely new to me like it is for some
others, and the experiences I had are definitely going to benefit me in the
future!"
Chayse Barr
"Knacktive
helped me to understand what it really was like working as a project team. We
had to learn how to work with people from lots of different disciplines. It also
helped me learn how to work under pressure and to really get creative about how
to do business with different companies under different constraints."
Caroline Bowlin
"Knacktive is a truly eye opening. It takes the knowledge learned in class and puts it to use in a real situation."

Elise Jones
"Through Knacktive, you have the chance to work with real world clients, you are responsible for real deadlines and you get to work with a variety of fresh talent from other departments. Anyone interested in working in an agency one day would be crazy to pass this opportunity up."
Robert O'Doherty
"As a college graduate you need something that will set you apart from others. Knacktive has that capability. Every potential employer has asked me about Knacktive in some way during my interviews since the course ended. They are amazed that someone so young had the opportunity to work on a marketing campaign for a nationally recognized company. Knacktive can only help you in your future goals by preparing you for what is to come after college."
Dylan Parlor
"Being a part of a Knacktive team gave me the opportunity to go out with a bang my senior year. The connections I made and the real-life experience gave me the drive and confidence to merge directly into a competitive field...fast."

Ian Stanek
"My knack is writing. I enjoy the creativity that writing expresses. With writing any situation can come alive through an array of words. It is a way to analyze any aspect of a given situation logically and creatively while still providing a tangible result."
