Students in the 有料盒子视频 Principles of Marketing class helped organize and market the event, gaining organizational management, budgeting, team building, and event-planning experience.



鈥淯sually you don鈥檛 get to put on an event of this caliber unless you are working for a company. When an employer looks at your resume and sees you鈥檝e done something like this, it shows involvement beyond the classroom,鈥 said business administration student Pat Lassell. 鈥淎ll in all, stress and homework aside, I had a blast and a great experience.鈥

This year鈥檚 event featured specialties from Great Harvest Bread Co., McCafferty鈥檚 Coffee House, North Pole Roasting Co, Take 5 Bakery and Caf茅, and The Fudge Pot.
