Name: Mayur Aras

Concentration(s): Marketing

Internship: Dow Chemical

Future Plans (optional): I’m currently pursuing a career in marketing and brand management, hopefully in the food and beverage industry.

Why did you choose Smeal: I thought Smeal had the total package; a great academic program along with a small, tight-knit community with the vast resources of a large, public university. And the muffins served during Coffee Buzz are really good.

What has been your favorite Smeal MBA memory thus far: Traveling with 25 other Penn Staters to Johannesburg, South Africa last year as part of Smeal’s Global Immersion program. We were lucky enough to experience a 3 day safari as well, and even made it to Capetown for a few days. A great experience!
