Jarded wanted to study something business-related from his involvement in Business Professionals of America while in high school. He decided to choose Marketing because he liked the Intro to Marketing class.

He loves the student organizations and athletic events at the University of Iowa. He's involved with the National Retail Federation, Sports Business Association, and Tippie Business Honor Society. They have allowed him to extend his learning beyond the classroom, and he's met some new friends from each.

His advice to incoming students is to get involved - it never hurts to try something new!
