“I believe that students can learn most effectively when they are actively engaged in the classroom and enjoying the educational experience.  Open-ended discussions, creative presentations, and interactive group projects add to students’ ability to master new concepts and put theory into practice.  Real-life experience is added to textbook study to provide a more complete understanding of the business world.”
