“I was fortunate enough to work on four different plans for four separate companies in the area while I was attending MSB,” Harlow said. “This is an opportunity more business students can only dream of.”

Harlow finished 28 credits in his final quarter, while working fulltime and serving as public relations officer of the campus business club.

He ended his speech by coming up with his own lyrics to Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit single ‘Call Me Maybe’. “If anyone’s hiring, I don’t know you and this is crazy, but I just graduated, so hire me maybe,” Harlow said.
