BHOL 457: Chris Wilkey - Ball State Sales & Community Outreach

Episode 457 of Boss Hog of Liberty is available now. Host voices are Jeremiah Morrell, Bones Harcourt, and Zach Burcham. This week the podcast guest is Dr Chris Wilkey, Director of the Ball State University of Professional Selling. We discuss the ways that Ball State makes an impact on surrounding communities, including Henry County. His sales program recruits local students into the program, and they leave with a four year degree and great opportunities for jobs in our area, often with nearly six figure incomes immediately. So much talk about how difficult the career market is, however with some flexibility the jobs are available, and in Indiana. Chris Wilkey is also heavily involved in the community, particularly through the Elks Lodge, and he highlights some programs that their grants have provided. Including a children's coat program that provides new winter coats to every child in Henry County, if interested.

Additionally they operate a tiny food pantry, and have been getting classroom snacks out this school year for kids all over New Castle.

In sports, Alex Palou just won his 5th IndyCar Championship, Pato O’Ward completed the Milwaukee double. Ball State is headed into Columbus for a brutal match up against Ohio State. Indiana is about to start its new football season, as the national champion…Can they repeat? A review of the schedule says they have a great opportunity. Finally, the Colts season is about to start and their new Wide Receiver Keenan Allen is already making the wrong headlines as he was arrested for DUI in downtown Indianapolis after his first preseason game.

Next Episode records Wednesday September 9th.
