Danny Ventura dreamt of going to college while spending most of his life in Dodge and Fremont, Nebraska.
The summer before his freshman year at UNO, Ventura took a job at Fremont Beef Company. The experience left enough of an impression on him that he decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
While at UNO, Ventura often worked seven days a week. Between work and classes, he still found time for study sessions and various internships.
As he worked to finish up his degree, Ventura learned about First National Bank’s management trainee program. During his final fall at UNO, he packed his semester with 24 credits so he could graduate early and be eligible to interview for the program. After an intensive interview process, his risk paid off and he was one of the few candidates selected.
Ventura plans to come back to UNO and complete a master’s degree with hopes to have his own space inside Omaha’s tallest building (First National Bank).
“The College of Business Administration has been a place for me to meet everybody, a place to get to work, a place to find internships.” Ventura said, “I will always be grateful to this university.”
