    Happy Veterans Day! In honor of supporting our military, the KS&R Connection team organized a special project to assemble care packages for Fort Drum soldiers returning from deployment during our on-site visit in May. Each bag was filled with essentials like toiletries, snacks, and a handwritten note from KS&R employees expressing our gratitude for their service. Our #KSRcrew member, Sue Juskow, and her husband, Michael, personally delivered these care packages to Fort Drum, where they met several soldiers and toured the USO facility. Thank you to all who have served and are currently serving! #VeteransDay

    Our Chairman Jay Scott has been featured by UGA in their Alumni Spotlight! Check out his full interview below!

    Say hi to Jay Scott, ’91!    Jay attended the MMR program after graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in Marketing in 1989. He has held roles at FedEx as a Marketing Research Pincipal, BellSouth as Director of Marketing, and M/A/R/C Research as an Account Executive. Today, he is Chairman of KS&R.    When asked about the program's impact on his career, Jay said, “A major strength of the MMR program was its emphasis on real-world applications. The coursework was designed to reflect the challenges faced in the field, helping me develop strong problem-solving skills. This practical approach made it easy to move from the classroom to the business world with confidence.   Equally important was the network I built at UGA. Even 30 years later, I stay in touch with many of my classmates. The alumni community is strong, and those relationships have been incredibly valuable throughout my career, leading to new collaborations, mentorship, and opportunities.   In short, the UGA MMR program gave me the skills, experience, and connections that have driven my success in the insights industry. It’s where I learned to lead with data and harness the power of insights.”   Swipe to read why he believes prospective students should apply to the program!
