Hi everyone,
My name is Mitch Howe. I'm a second-year (class of 2017) MBA at the TCU Neeley School of Business in Fort Worth Texas here to answer any questions that you might have! I'm still figuring out exactly how GMATClub works and I just got back from a school trip to South Africa and I'm still getting back into the swing of things stateside, so please be patient if it takes me a few days to respond.
A little bit of background about myself: I graduated in 2012 from Potsdam State in northern New York with a B.A. in English Creative Writing, and spent the next three years as a basketball coach and academic advisor at a community college in Syracuse, New York. Nothing about my background screamed "MBA" - I'm as much of a career-changer as you will find. Over the past year I've participated in case competitions, serve as the Neeley MBA program's Social Media Coordinator (you can check out all of the cool stuff we're doing on Twitter and Instagram at @TCU_MBA or search #TCUMBA, and on LinkedIn and Facebook at TCU Neeley MBA Program), organize prospective student campus visits, worked on a consulting project for Alcon Vision Care, and had the most fun year of my life. This past summer I served as a marketing consultant for the Dallas Fort Worth Minority Supplier Development Council, and this fall I am interning with Simpli.fi, a programmatic marketing/digital advertising agency here in Fort Worth. My resume has been completely transformed over the past year, and I feel very confident as I ramp up my full-time job search that I have the skills and experience to find a job in at an ad or social media agency or sports business.
Looking forward to interacting with you and answering all of your questions!
Go Frogs!
Mitch Howe
