It took a little schicksal.

But Max Pearson’s unique combination of interests, and some help from committed mentors at Nebraska Wesleyan University, led him to an unexpected career opportunity.

What’s “schicksal”? Well, it’s German for “fate”. 

Pearson recently accepted a full-time position  as a German translator with Li-Cor Environmental, a biotechnology company in Lincoln. A job that started with an internship at Li-Cor after an assist from Heather Hoops in NWU’s Career Center, and Professor of Spanish and German Jo Ann Fuess.
