David Mogle, speaker

"This dinner was very different than the past dinners because we had the opportunity to hear and network with not only a single person in banking, but from a group of individuals with a wide range of experience in the banking industry. The second part of the program we had an opportunity to learn a little about FNB through formal presentation and then through personal testimony. Finally we had another informal session where we were given the opportunity to ask more personal questions now that we knew a little more about each person and their responsibilities within FNB."
- Aaron Hughes, senior business administration and MIS major

"Lessons I learned were:
1. In everything that you do, people judge you.
2. The wastes of time in the work world are gossip, defensiveness and justification.
3. Your education will never stop.
4. That it is important to put the right people in the right position and challenge them.
5. How you deal with change is very important.
6. Accountability is very important."
- Maura Medvitz, senior business communication and communication major

"Before this presentation I did not know about all the departments and opportunities in the banking industry. This really sparked an interest in myself and I am now going to try to look for internships in the banking field."
- Adam Kmetz, senior elementary education major

"The fact that we were able to go out and actually visit an established corporation changed things a little and added a new aspect to the class. Everyone was very friendly and very willing to discuss things with you. It was a nice trip and very helpful to us as future businessmen."
- Peter Stafford, junior business administration and elementary education major

"The presentation was very helpful in informing us of FNB's interests. They seem to be very motivated, which is proven by their success in the banking field. They have managed to increase the size of their bank by a considerable margin. I was also very impressed by Louise Lowery. I thought she made an impact on her employees due to her good attitude."
- Stacy Shook, senior accounting and business administration major
