He&#8217;ll receive both at commencement ceremonies today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What someone told me a long time ago was, &#8216;Don&#8217;t think. Just do it,'&#8221; said Ajumobi, who goes by Korede (kor-eh-DAY).<\/p>\n<p>Listening to the advice now used by Nike as a marketing tagline, he was chosen for an internship with Rollins, Inc., owner of Orkin pest control services whose founder, Gary W. Rollins, gave $40 million in 2018 to the UTC College of Business, the largest private gift in school history.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s needs matched his skills, Ajumobi said, and he dived into projects filled with statistics, data analysis, math, predictive models and other research tools.<\/p>\n<p>One project determined how many vehicles Orkin would need in the future based on how many employees the company would need and the demand for its pest control services.<\/p>\n<p>In another, he mapped out new geographic areas ripe with potential customers by using GPS records and fuel usage data from Orkin vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Company officials were happy with new territory to explore, he said, &#8220;but they were actually more ecstatic about the fact that there was data they didn&#8217;t know about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When the internship was over, he came away with more experience than just crunching numbers, he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a very interesting lesson because I learned that it&#8217;s not just the technical knowledge you have, but it&#8217;s truly, deeply understanding the business itself, the people involved and how everything flows from the bottom to the top.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now ready to step into a career, job opportunities aren&#8217;t a problem. Ajumobi already has been offered a position with Rollins in Atlanta and is interviewing for a job with McKee Foods\u2014home of Little Debbie\u2014in Ooltewah.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of mentoring he received at UTC is a critical piece in his educational and career paths, he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The number of people who stepped in actively just to help me out. Amazing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;From my time in mathematics, to my time as an MBA (student), to my time as a graduate assistant, I&#8217;ve always had individuals who stepped in, talked to me, gave me great advice: &#8216;Here&#8217;s what you can look at personally, professionally, socially in your relationships.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And this cuts across from my supervisors to my advisors, to the lecturers, the professors. If those folks weren&#8217;t in my life, I don&#8217;t think I would have chosen the path I did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not everything in his life revolves around stats, business models and math, though. He recently began rock climbing and hiking to take away some of the stress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That kind of keeps me human, not just studying all the time, so I still have a bit of a life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I try to make sure I have a good social network, support network, because that goes a long way, especially with the stress of grad school. That&#8217;s enough to break a person.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oluwakorede Ajumobi has earned master&#8217;s degrees in math, data analytics and business administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2021\/12\/holding-three-masters-degrees-graduate-steps-onto-career-path\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":39257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59,57,52,8244,10197,64,661],"tags":[119128,119127],"class_list":{"0":"post-39172","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","8":"category-college-of-business","9":"category-graduate-school","10":"category-honors-and-awards","11":"category-mathematics","12":"category-news","13":"category-students","14":"tag-graduate-commencement-fall-2021","15":"tag-oluwakorede-ajumobi","16":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
