"The EEE experience at SU (writing a business plan and the business plan competition, making presentations, entrepreneurial marketing strategies, digitial convergence and the entrepreneur, and the hands-on consulting class project, to name a few), provided extremely valuable lessons I have applied in the real world since graduation"
-Brian McDonald, Class of 2003 |
