Benjamin Zibers, Associate Vice President of Park University’s Gilbert Campus, joins the show to discuss the continued growth of Park University Gilbert and the opportunities it’s creating in the East Valley. Zibers highlights KJ Ward making history as the first Park Gilbert baseball player selected in the MLB Draft, going to the Detroit Tigers in the ninth round, and how his journey shows athletes can reach the professional level without coming from a major NCAA program. He also discusses the new Gilbert Advantage, which offers a 50% scholarship to Gilbert residents, Gilbert business owners, and employees of Gilbert-based businesses as Park continues investing in education and opportunity throughout the community.
