I know, I know…I’m turning in my homework late. And as a College Prof who is all about “turn your work in on time or you will lose points” this is bad. Really, really bad. No excuses. Just super busy with turning in the midterm grades last weekend and launching my MBA Marketing course. Yep,…

It seems not so long ago that I posted the list of new Grasshoppers who were on their way to being Social Media Ninjas in our Senior Marketing class at Champlain College. Students went “live” with their personal branding projects in February and here we are at the end of April and it’s time to…
It’s been a year now since I took on the administrative responsibilities as an Assistant Dean.

Well, it’s that time of year again! The students in the B.S. in Marketing here at Champlain College get to finish off their program with a CAPSTONE experience.
