\u201cI went to MCCC rather than coming straight to UToledo because it was a great opportunity to lower the cost of college, and I wanted to start at a smaller school,\u201d she said. \u201cThe transfer process was also very smooth because I was able to meet with a transfer advisor from UToledo while I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n
While attending MCCC, Jacob worked closely with Hala Abou-Dahech, associate director of adult and transfer admissions at UToledo.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was my transfer advisor who I met with multiple times while I was at MCCC,\u201d Jacob said. \u201cHala helped me plan my schedule to ensure I took classes that would transfer for my major.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abou-Dahech and Jacob worked together for two years to ensure Jacob\u2019s credits would transfer to UToledo for her major in marketing.<\/p>\n
\u201cMadison and I met regularly to ensure her transfer from MCCC was smooth and to discuss the numerous opportunities that would be available to her as a Rocket,\u201d Abou-Dahech said. \u201cI was so impressed with her friendliness, professionalism and attention to detail that I invited her to apply to an admission ambassador position in the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Today, Madison is excelling in the classroom and helping us to recruit future transfer students.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now a junior starting her first semester at UToledo, Jacob said she has had a great experience as a student in business.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thing that I enjoy most about marketing is the ability to be creative. I also find it interesting that there are so many new ways to market and interact with customers on social media,\u201d she said. \u201cThis semester, I have good teachers who are very supportive and helpful. I would recommend the business program at UToledo to anyone who is interested in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Madison Jacob, a junior in marketing, joined UToledo this semester after earning her associate degree in business management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":914,"featured_media":89119,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50,32,1,71,7],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89118"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/914"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89118"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89123,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89118\/revisions\/89123"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"ALT:](\"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/National-Transfer-Student-Week-Spotlight-Madison-Jacob-150x150.png\")
