Faculty Feedback:

Meg Hartman, Adjunct Faculty for Undergraduate Business and MSMK

“Terrell is an engaged and insightful student, and a hard worker. He is able to apply class concepts easily to real-world examples and brings a wealth of knowledge to the classroom (most recently, gaming!). His strong character is evident to all - last year he was an Ethics Bowl recipient, nominated by his peers, faculty, and staff for demonstrating ethical behavior. I've been impressed with his ability to juggle all of his school work with his demanding soccer schedule and somehow thrive at both. I know Terrell is going to succeed in whatever he chooses to do after graduation!”
