Prof. Kristen B. Hovsepian, Assistant Professor, Marketing/Hospitality/Supply Chain Management, Ashland University:

JOE BUDD IS ONE THE HARDEST WORKING AND MOST DEDICATED YOUNG MEN I HAVE MET IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. HIS VOLUNTARY WORK WITH THE ASHLAND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN FREE ENTERPRISE TEAM FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS (YUP- NO GRADE, NO COLLEGE CREDIT, JUST A DETERMINATION TO HELP THIS TEAM OF UNDERGRADUATES CREATE A QUALITY PROGRAM!) HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING. WHEN THE GOING GOT TOUGH, I GOT JOE!

Steve Krispinsky, Executive Director MBA Program, Ashland University:

​JOE IS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT IS WILLING TO ASSIST OTHERS WHENEVER THE NEED ARISES. HE IS A SELF-STARTER AND DOES NOT NEED TO BE INFORMED AS TO WHAT TASK NEEDS TO BE DONE NEXT. HE WILL LOOK FOR WORK AND MAKE HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS TO ENHANCE THE OPERATION OF THE DEPARTMENT/ORGANIZATION.

Khush Pittenger, Ph.D. Academic Director of Business Internships, Ashland University:

JOE IS THE BEST STUDENT ASSISTANT I HAVE WORKED WITH IN MY 25 YEAR CAREER.

Note: I normally go by Joe.
