FALL 2023
At the ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ College of Business and Security Management, we often refer to our staff, faculty and students as family, and in some cases, it is meant literally. Through two unique families, the McGees and the Wolvertons, we see firsthand the connection, support and fulfillment in these relationships and the long-term impact they hold individually and on the community, on and off of campus.
The ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ Business Leader of the Year (BLOY) dinner and award ceremony is more than
a recognition ceremony and a dinner. This year celebrated Tom Bartels, Owner of North
Pole Coffee Roasting Co. One of the many distinguishing factors that make BLOY stand
out is the participation of ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ students from beginning to end. Students are part
of the selection process, volunteer in event management, attend the ceremony and lastly
contribute to the post-event evaluations.
Through a series of dual-enrollment professional development courses hands-on career experiences such as resume writing and interviewing, Career Explorers prepares high school students for further opportunity. This year, on two separate planes to the with four students, two instructors, and three YKSD staff, Career Explorers fully intended to bring the program to the village; however, as often happens, weather got in the way with no runway insight.
In a remarkable partnership with Disney Imagination Campusâ„¢ at Walt Disney World Resortâ„¢, students from the ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ College of Business and Security Management (CBSM) participated in a one-of-a-kind inaugural class, Creating Theme Park Magic. This innovative course defied convention, uniting students from diverse academic backgrounds to embark on a unique learning journey at the intersection of education and imagination. Students traveled to Florida to develop their professional skills through a unique curriculum and learning environment.
The Professional Polished Program is a collection of opportunities to help prepare students for life beyond college. This week is complete with an etiquette seminar, professional wardrobe building and networking with ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓÊÓƵ's top leaders. The program ends with and evening of one-on-one interviews between students and professionals and a private dinner. Giving students a gentle push into the business world, this left them empowered, with more confidence and experience that can't be found in the classroom.
