Knox Students Develop Business Skills Through Fullbridge Program

Alumni who evaluated the final presentations praised the students' work.

"I was hugely impressed by the level of confidence that these young people brought to the job of, in a very short period of time, taking information of a business nature—which none of them are trained in—and bringing together a very well-done set of presentations that impressed an audience of business professionals," said Steve Kaszynski '76, director, president, and CEO of Homestead Funds in Arlington, Virginia.

Chanda Harrell '15, a tax associate at KPMG in Chicago, Illinois, said she was impressed with the way the students interacted together.

"They supported each other," she said. "If someone was struggling with a question, someone else would jump in and help. That was good to see."

Other alumni panelists who evaluated the students' final presentations were:

  • Jim Foley '78, director of the Illinois SBDC International Trade Center at Bradley University.
  • Jordi Prats '85, director of global solutions development for Maritz Inc. in Fenton, Missouri.
  • Scott Westerman '84, president of Glazer's of Missouri in St. Charles, Missouri.
