Jarard Paige
M.S. in Marketing Communication (Beta Gamma Sigma)Growing up, Jarard Paige wanted to own an airline, so he studied aeronautical management technology at Arizona State University. After 9/11, Jarard changed his professional direction. "I wanted a graduate-level education in an urban environment, but I didn't want an M.B.A.," he says, adding, "and I didn't want to be a lawyer." During a visit home to Chicago, Jarard learned of Stuart's M.S. in Marketing Communication Program. "I'd found the graduate program that was right for me."
Soon after graduating from Stuart, Jarard was hired as a human resources marketing and communications specialist for Stanford University Medical Center, where he leads healthcare recruitment marketing and branding initiatives. "My degree was the absolute perfect fit for me," says Jarard. "The one defining perspective I learned at Stuart was how to maximize a product's impact by looking at it from the core perspective of what the customer wants."
Jarard's long-term career goals include building a better hospital employee communications group and continuing to engage and inspire people.
