By Daniel Ruiz, MBA Class of 2018
As the MBA Association VP of Recruitment, I am really excited about one of the new programs that we have introduced in conjunction with the MBAA and Admissions, which is the creation of the Smeal MBA Ambassadors. Here at Penn State, we pride ourselves in the community that we have in the MBA program — the close-knit relationships we develop with not only our current students but also with our alumni. The creation of the Smeal MBA Ambassadors program will help prospective students connect with current students in the 1st and 2nd year Smeal MBA classes.
Prospective students can now get in touch directly with a current student that has a similar background or is currently pursuing a concentration that they are interested in. By establishing early connections within the community, we hope to further showcase the uniqueness of the Smeal MBA program and to continue to attract top class talent. We welcomed the Class of 2019 to campus a few weeks ago and are in the process of selecting Ambassadors for their class; in the meantime, feel free to connect with a 2nd year student via this link: https://mba.smeal.psu.edu/our-community/smeal-mba-ambassadors.
