"Although I believe the entire Management Department did a wonderful job preparing me for the real world, it was you that made me truly passionate about a business career because of the way you challenged me educationally as well as personally. Not only have I been able to use things I learned in the classroom (strategic marketing / sales plans, company branding, market assessments, operational review, facility management, etc.) but I have also been able to use things I learned from you on a personal level—confidence, positive attitude, commitment to excellence, dependability, etc.) For these lessons, I thank you."
