They are also given the opportunity to implement new initiatives and take leadership roles on various projects.

My name is Michael Malone, I am from Edgewater Maryland. I am a Sophomore Marketing Major here at the University of Findlay. I am a member of Findlay's Football team and Findlay's College of Business Student Advisory Board.
I decided to become a member of the College of Business Student Advisory Board to help others as well as motivate and inspire students to create a change. I also feel this is a great opportunity for networking and building real-world experiences of leadership.
Hi! my name is Kaylee Alarcon, and I’m from Perrysburg, Ohio. I am a freshman and outside the Student Advisory Board for the College of Business, I am on the University’s lacrosse team, a part of the American Chemical Society, Empowerment of Business Oriented Women, and the Sports and Event Business Experience Club.
I decided to join
Student Advisory Board because I think this is an amazing opportunity to network more and get more involved with our student body. I think it’s fair to say our group’s passion is to help the college of business reach its full potential because the college is only as good as its students are. I am so excited to help be the voice of business majors so we can get the absolute most from our four years at Findlay and always keep improving.
