What skill should recent grads hone?C
Communication skills are critical, both oral and written. Represent yourself well.

What’s the greatest thing Malone prepared you for?
I met both Jesus and my wife, Amy (Allgyer) while at Malone. Those two have been the central figures in my life ever since.

What skill should recent grads hone?

This can be summed up in one of my favorite quotes by Rick Renner, "Our lives today are nothing more than the result of the decisions we made yesterday.
