BankTEL is planning an expansion by developing innovative accounting software solutions for small businesses offered through its bank clients. The new software will allow banks to offer business-changing products while strengthening the relationship between the financial company and its commercial customers. Mississippi State runs deep in the Adams family. Boyce Adams graduated from the university’s College of Business in 1980. His late father, Walter Adams, was an MSU engineering graduate, and his youngest son, Mark, is currently a sophomore in the College of Business majoring in business administration. Mark has spent the last few summers interning at BankTEL. Adams personally knows the high quality of MSU business graduates, and he knows when it comes to hiring employees for his company, he has to look no further than the MSU College of Business. This is apparent by recent BankTEL hires: Chad Thomas, MBA, 2007 & MS education, 2006 Robert Cornelius, BBA business information systems, 2010 Charles Chain, BS finance, 2010 Katie Bright, BBA international business & BA Spanish, 2011 Paige Guthrie, MBA, 2011 & BS finance, 2010 Mark Enis, BBA business information systems, 2012 Laurel Wade, BBA business information systems, 2013 Zac Pickle, BS information technology services, 2013
