As an employer who has hired several ASU graduates Rural Sourcing, Inc, states — “Tim Owens joined RSI recently and is quickly making an impact on the client project and tasks he’s being assigned. Clearly, it’s a testament not only to him but a reflection on the education he earned at Arkansas State. Thank you for the important role you play in preparing students for a professional career in IT!”                         ~ Stacy Navarro, VP, Human Resources
