Groundbreaking for the Professional Development Center, which will focus on integrating academic quality with experiential learning, will be May 15.

Racing a BMW around a slick track is probably not what you picture when imagining a sales and marketing internship, but this was just one of many incredible experiences that junior Sales Management and Marketing Management double major, Miranda Radesic, enjoyed during her 10-week summer internship with Bridgestone Americas.

In addition to homework and classroom tests, CBA Accounting students were preparing for some important competitions this Spring Semester.
