Smeal to Host Recruitment Event for Military Personnel and Veterans
Pennsylvania State University’s Smeal College of Business will host a special MBA informational event for military personnel and veterans on Monday, November 11. The event coincides with Veteran’s Day.
The Military MBA for a Day event will be similar to Smeal’s other MBA for a Day events. Prospective students will tour the business building, interact with staff and faculty, and sit in on MBA classes. Throughout the day, students will have opportunities to learn about the application process at Smeal, the MBA curriculum, and career and student services at Smeal. In addition to these events, the Military MBA for a Day program will give prospective students a chance to meet military personnel and veterans who are currently MBA students at Smeal, and a representative from Veterans Affairs will give veterans information about Yellow Ribbon, the GI Bill, and funding. The day will also include a coffee break event to honor Veteran’s Day.
Smeal’s MBA program was named to the 2014 Military Friendly Schools List, which means it is in the top 20 percent of United States schools when it comes to supporting veterans, service members, and their families. The MBA program has a Military and Veterans association that provides support and guidance for the military population at Smeal. Erik Orient, a retired Marine and Penn’s student services director for the MBA program says: “Penn State is a very military-friendly university, and the Veterans Outreach office is devoted to helping students with the GI Bill and other programs”.
Military MBA for a Day is free, and you can register for the event here.
