The My name is Joseph Hurst. I live in Ankeny, Iowa, and I'm part of the PNBA program. I currently work as the Director of Sales at Stony Creek Hotels in Johnson, Iowa, and I chose the Iowa State MBA program because it just made perfect sense. About two years ago, I started this wonderful program, and I couldn't imagine not having done it. What has helped the most balanced work, life, school has been the people I'm in class with. It's great to go through questions, problems, study for tests, and it just makes the whole class so much easier. As a working professional thinking about doing an MBA program, I get night classes aren't everybody's dreams. I get after a long day of work you may not want to go do more, but it's worth it. You're going to learn a lot not just from the professors in the program, but from the other students. They go from all walks to life. They are from different age groups.

They're from different companies. They're from all kinds of different backgrounds. They've all kinds

of different stories. And after two years, I've made some of the best friends I've ever made,

learned the most I've ever learned, and I can't imagine what we're going to do after we're done. We're going to do after we're done.

joined as always by Brent Bloom. We are in the Northwest Bank Studios. We are presented by our friends

at Mechdyne. You can check them out at mecdyne.com. That spelled m e c h d y n e where they are constantly enabling

discovery and they're looking for fine employees that have graduated from the iowa state university

perhaps even from the Ivy College of Business.

Double dose.

Yeah, well, I mean, they like their engineers, but they need their business folks as well.

You know, the interesting part about our guy, Chris Clover, he's an engineering grad,

college of engineering grad, and an Ivy College of Business grad.

See, that's what I'm talking about.

There you go.

Real quick, on the Ivy College of Business, they just had their best ranking ever.

In the U.S. News and World Report of their graduate schools, number 38.
