You really start to question your life after graduation. For most of us, up until this point we’ve always known our next plan. High school graduation led to going to college. College graduation can lead to almost anywhere. We really do have a lot of options these days from joining the Peace Corps, going on to graduate/law/medical school, to getting…

Graduation. Quite often it’s seen as the most stressful time of any collegiate student’s career. People draw a lot of parallels to first coming onto campus as a freshmen and seemingly not having enough time for everything that needs to be done. Freshman year, you’re busy unpacking, buying things you think you’ll need to survive the next 4(ish) years, meeting…

Ask anyone about marketing and the first thing out of their mouths is “social media.” It’s become the go-to buzz word for this new age of marketing that we’ve entered. But how does one go about using or even optimizing social media for use in the business world? Over the course of my time here at Florida Tech, I’ve had…

As I see the light at the end of the tunnel of my collegiate career, the reality of being out in the real world is setting in. Pretty soon, after the gowns have been placed away in storage and summer is upon us, all my other collegiate compatriots will be looking to complete internships or nab a summer job with…

Today there are over 1,826 billionaires in the world. Combined, they wield some $7 trillion dollars. That’s a bit less than half of the U.S. national debt: a bit mind boggling to think about. But what allowed this fraction of a percentage of the world population to attain all that wealth? What lessons can we learn from them to better…

It wasn’t long ago that I was having to walk across campus to the little College of Business building over by the dining hall. That building held nothing more than a small conference room and a handful of offices. It sure did provide for some memories though. I remember the “Welcome Back!” picnic the college threw on their front lawn…

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a networking event put on by Florida Tech’s Career Services Office. The Keynote speaker was Bonnie Dubrow, aptly known as “The Energizer Bonnie.” Bonnie has had an extensive career over the past 30+ years in the personal, professional and business development realms. In that time, she’s acquired a laundry list of clients including…

It’s often said that most of your learning takes place outside of the classroom. Lessons taught in those classrooms have shed light that people learn in very different ways. Some learn better when listening to music or through conversation. Others learn better through repetition and memorization. These are two methods that you see most often in higher education. You’ll see…

Last semester, senior year. Time to wrap up any loose ends and get your affairs in order before you are kicked out into the world. This is what most seniors face, that is, unless you’re a student at the Nathan M. Bisk College of Business. Last semester seniors are required to participate in a mandatory internship program called “Business Practicum.”…

This past week, I had the pleasure of attending the Florida Tech Career Fair. The Career Services Office here on campus puts this event together twice a year (once a semester) in an effort to connect potential employers to our high caliber student body. In the first year of your collegiate career you might be required to go for University…
