Penn State Behrend’s Class of 2024 is ready to make its mark on the world!  We’re proud of our students and all that they have learned and accomplished here at Behrend. Over the next several weeks, we will introduce you to a few of our remarkable seniors who have engaged in college life in a big way, conducted valuable research, pioneered innovations, and overcome challenges during their time at Penn State Behrend.

Today, we’d like you to meet Lucas Saborsky.

Major: Dual major in Marketing and Project and Supply Chain Management

Minor: Management Information Systems

Hometown: Corry, Pennsylvania

Scholarships: I received several anonymous trustee scholarships from Behrend, and it greatly affected my success during my college career. This year, I received a scholarship from the Addison Gibson Foundation.

On choosing Behrend: I chose to attend Behrend because I was interested in the opportunity to dual-major. Also, every member of my immediate family attended Behrend, so it was a family tradition.

On choosing his major: I chose marketing and project management because I enjoy understanding business decisions and making data-driven choices. These fields allow me to combine my passion for analyzing data and strategic planning.

His proudest accomplishment at Behrend: I have been able to add to my academic resume, while maintaining a high grade point average.

Campus involvement: Business Ambassador for the Black School of Business, Student Assistant at the Black School of Business Office, Project and Supply Chain Management Club President

People might be surprised to know: I love being outside. In the summer I am outside golfing, and in the winter, I am snowboarding.

His definition of living a good life: Living a good life is about enjoying what you do while having a positive impact on others in some way or another.

His passions and priorities: I’m passionate about continuous improvement and the goal of getting 1 percent better each day. Whether professionally or personally, I always try to improve myself and my daily habits.

Advice for first-year students: My advice would be to get involved as early as possible. Do not be afraid to take on as much as you can fit in your schedule because you may surprise yourself and find a way to manage it all.

After his graduation in May, Lucas plans to attend graduate school at Penn State University Park to obtain a Master of Business Analytics degree.
