Matthew Chase

Hello, I’m Matt Chase, an MBA student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I graduated with a degree in Business Administration from Ithaca College in May 2023. During my time at Ithaca, I was a member of the baseball team, achieving two conference and regional tournament victories. I received recognition as an all-conference player and was honored as the most outstanding player in the conference tournament. Additionally, I was selected for the Liberty League all-academic team during my Junior and Senior years. My college sports experience instilled valuable skills like time management, leadership, and teamwork. Moreover, I contributed as a peer success coach and a member of the school’s social media team.

During my undergraduate years, I had the privilege of interning at remarkable organizations. One such experience was as a baseball operations intern for the Bourne Braves in the Cape Cod Baseball League. In this role, I honed skills in analytics and player development, responsible for crafting daily scouting reports on opposing pitchers and optimizing our lineup analytically. Winning the championship capped this incredible experience.

I also gained valuable logistics experience at the FISU 2022 World University Games in Lake Placid, addressing shipping issues, maintaining precise purchase order records, and overseeing logistics support activities, including repair analytics and test equipment recommendations.

Additionally, I served as an operations manager for College Truckers at Ithaca College, overseeing operations and marketing, along with recruiting and managing a team of workers. My responsibilities included scheduling and ensuring the smooth functioning of the storage service for students during summer breaks.

Megan Nolan- Make a Difference in Young Lives

Upon completing my degree in the midst of the pandemic in the spring of 2020 I began working full time at Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield as a Project Coordinator in their Finance Department. While work continued, and the pandemic endured, I felt I had extra time and energy to do more outside of work. This is when I searched for volunteer opportunities and found Compeer. Compeer’s mission is to make the world less lonely. I applied to become a youth mentor and found a match in the summer of 2021. I have been a match with a young girl in the area since then and have developed a great relationship with her and strive to serve her as a mentor. Compeer has several other programs besides youth mentorship. If you have the time and interest, please consider visiting their site and learning more about their volunteering opportunities.

To give more background on myself, I am currently pursing my MBA at Rochester Institute of Technology part time while I work full time for Actel Advisory Group. I anticipate completing my degree in the spring of 2024. I began my college education at the University at Buffalo studying Business Administration with a concentration in Finance and minor in Mathematics. Please feel free to download and review my resume for more details about my education, certifications, and career.

Philip Rottkamp

Hello! My name is Philip Rottkamp, and I am an MBA student at Rochester Institute of Technology. I earned my undergraduate degree in Management Information Systems from RIT in May 2023 with a GPA of 3.98. I am a proud recipient of several awards as an undergraduate student, including Dean’s List for all 8 semesters attended, induction into the Beta Gamma Sigma International Business Honor Society, and the Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar Award, which is given to the top 1% of undergraduate students who achieve academic excellence while also giving back to the community.

I have been active in RIT’s community through my work with New Student Orientation as an Orientation Leader (2020, 2022) and Orientation Supervisor (2023), and through my work as President of the RIT Fighting Game Community (2021 – 2023). Both experiences have not only further engaged me into the greater RIT community, but have built up my leadership skills and creative thinking skills in ways that many academic classes cannot.

I have been working with my local utilities company, Central Hudson Gas & Electric Co., since June 2022 as an IT Intern. There, I have been using my technical skills to design and build Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboards for different departments to help company leaders get the most up to date information fast in an organized manner. Alongside being the lead developer for the Human Resources KPI dashboard, I have also been co-managing the project surrounding the HR dashboard to help ensure all deliverables are complete, resources are allocated appropriately, and to make sure time, cost, and scope are on track.
