Last month I had the pleasure of meeting Reinhold Schmieding, an MSU grad and the founder and owner of Arthrex, a medical device company that produces 13,000 different products and trains surgeons from around the world on how to use them. We spent an hour talking about his experiences at MSU and his career. The conversation reminded me how the things students do alongside their majors – be they clubs or classes or friendships – are far more influential on their future success than we typically acknowledge.
