Additional Highlights

Applying theory to practice is the best measure of students' learning. And in this course, I had the pleasure to witness a student accomplished this. Several weeks after the course has ended, she came to see me and presented a thorough marketing plan for her soon-to-be launched small business. While she was presenting it, I can see the spark in her eyes and the passion in her voice. She was so inspired by what she learned in various classes under the SMBU program and she was able to put in good use. This is very fulfilling!
