“The most key thing that we have done recently with the college was we had an intern with us,” said Stuck. “He would tell you that probably my first words to him were I don’t like interns because interns take a lot of extra time. Josh Doering was our intern and he brought an excitement. He brought an energy level into our office, which was great. Having him be a junior, you always think freshman, sophomore year, what could he know? He knows a lot.”

After having Doering over the summer as an intern, Stuck has changed his thoughts on internships and plans on doing another one again.

“His (Doering’s) education and preparation, he stepped in and was able to take the things that he knew and the things that we could help him and teach him, combine those together to where he had a great experience this summer,” said Stuck. “It drew me into what’s going on more on campus. He can’t be the only one of those great students.”

Stuck is planning on looking into how Baird can work with the Morningside College business department and give back.

“We have 15 fabulous people here who are skilled,” said Stuck. “They have skill sets in portfolio building, sales and sales management, and a lot of different areas. I think that we need to be responsible to say, ‘Is there a way we can help?’”
