Om Podcasten

The vision of the Mays MasterCast is to connect prospective members to our Mays community by painting the picture of Aggieland through different voices and perspectives. The “different voices and perspectives” have come from inspiring individuals of Texas A&M University, each telling a new story of their personal, professional, and educational experiences. While we still want to focus on the unique lives of our guests, we want our guests to embody the Masters and MBA Programs that Mays has to offer. Whether they teach a graduate level course, are head of a department, current student, or have graduated, we want to capture potential Mays Business School Masters students and keep them in the realm of what is Mays Business School.
