In the short term, this honor will improve the
image of A&M MBA students while helping stu
dents gain better positions in the long term.
“Everyone wants a better and brighter career.
This ranking helps us get the attention of the best
corporations, ” said Steve Hahn, a current Lowry
Mays MBA student.
The Lowry Mays MBA program teaches skills
essential in the business world, such as teamwork,
communication, strategic decision analysis, glob
al awareness and problem solving.
“Our MBA program is a means to an end,”
Robertson said. “It helps students get where they
want faster.”

Kretzschmar said the aver

$30. He also said students
should register their bikes with

“PTTS will keep a record of

Kretzschmar said. “If a bike is
