Congratulations to Terrence Xu from Fordham University for winning the ACG Cup yesterday!  Despite stiff competition from the NYU, Baruch, Pace, and St. John teams, and having lost his teammates, Terrence went on to deliver a terrific presentation to the judges and win the competition.  We all agreed, Terrence would make a great employee (hint, hint employers!).

Field Trip to the Explorers Club headquarters in Manhattan with my NYIT Executive MBA students. Entering new markets is like exploration, preparation is the key to success. We are in the Roosevelt Room, at the table where TR signed the Panama Canal treaty. Hoping these young business people will soon be company presidents too!
