February 10, 2003 Andrew Crago '71, speaker Director, Accounts Payable Disney Worldwide Shared Services "Mr. Crago is the Director of Accounts Payable for Disney Worldwide Shared Services. He briefly stated that he graduated from Thiel in 1971 with a B.A. in Business and Biology. His plan after graduation was to become a dentist but that never worked out for him. The summer he graduated from Thiel College he began working at the new Disney theme park and his career started from there." - Maiyana Greene, junior business administration with mortuary science major "Some lessons learned from Mr. Crago were to get an education and never let it end, a positive attitude influences everything... it is infectious, and keep your expectations high for yourself and others." - Laura Yaple, senior accounting and business administration major "In his leadership style, he believes on encouraging and helping his leaders to be the best leaders that they can be. He stresses for his leaders to set objectives, goals and one thing that they can change in a yearly basis." - Heather Atkinson, senior business administration and business communication major "Andy was very fond of quotes of all different sorts. The one that I think is very important to remember is a quote from Walt Disney himself, 'laughter is no enemy to learning.' I feel that is very important for one to remember because all too often people are too serious about everything and they let life make them old before their time. Having a light-hearted attitude but still maintaining a good sense of responsibility is they key to success." - Todd Mechling, senior business administration major "Basically, it all boiled down to a quote that Mr. Crago used, 'Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.'" - Jason Roeder, senior business administration and business communication major
