Save Companies Thousands through Ashland University MBA
ASHLAND, Ohio Companies do benefit when their employees pursue
MBA degrees. And sometimes the benefit can be seen on the bottom
line.
Sandusky resident John Yost saved his company approximately $700,000
through a project he completed for a course in Ashland University's
master of business administration (MBA) program. Delaware resident
Paula Paben saved her company time, man-hours and production space,
while Ashland resident Roger Dougherty saved his company $10,000
in overtime through projects they completed for the same course.

AU Students Excel at Stock Selection and Portfolio Management
Ashland University's "Eagle Investment Group" finance students have
been managing a quarter of a million dollar portion of the University's
endowment since 1999. There performance has been consistently above
average, and their results for 2005 extend that record.
According to Dr. Tom Harvey, professor of the students, the group
outperformed all the key stock market indicators by a large margin.
The Eagle Investment Group is another outstanding example of the
Dauch College of Business and Economics' philosophy of learning
by doing as well as by studying. Investment management companies
are also taking note. Among the companies that have recently recruited
our Eagle Investment Group graduates are Edward D. Jones and Company,
A.G. Edward, MBNA, Wells Fargo, Met Life, Putnam, KeyCorp, NatCity
Investments, and AXA Advisors.

12/13/2005 University Business Students Present to Disney Executives
Students in the Dauch College of Business and Economics made a presentation to executives of the Walt Disney Corporation. Members of Dr. Sharon Valente's Intermediate Financial Management course (Business 329) spoke via videoconference equipment from Dauch 105 to Disney officials Jim Hunt, chief financial officer and executive vice president of World Wide Parks, and Andy Wu, vice president for Business Planning.
This hands-on experience
for the students was made possible through Stanley Gold, president
and chief executive officer of Shamrock Holdings, and the speaker
for the University's 2005 Lucille G. Ford Distinguished Business
Lecture Series.
The lecture series was developed by Ashland alumnus Dr. Peter D.
Linneman, who is the Albert Sussman Professor of Real Estate and
Professor of Finance and Business and Public Policy at the University
of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business. He graduated from Ashland
College in 1973 and received his MA from the University of Chicago
in 1976 and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1977.
