Memorable classroom moment: I was taking marketing students on a field trip to J & L Harley-Davidson on beautiful fall afternoon. We were driving in a caravan, with about 12 football players leading the way on their scooters. It was a comic sight to see the large bodies on small motorbikes on our way to learn more about legendary American bikes with big motors.
Advice for business students: Your professors will open many doors for you with professional speakers, invitations to events, and work that will distinguish you from other business students. Network and pursue every opportunity for an internship. Even if you don’t enjoy the work you have learned more about business cultures and certainly more about yourself, and your next employer will appreciate the experience you’ve gained along the way.
