In prepping for his Managerial Finance course in the Turner College's MBA program, finance professor Brett Cotten spent a lot of time revising and restructuring it to fit the new hybrid format. To effectively teach in the new format, he recorded, edited, and eventually published 24 different videos to deliver course content.  Cotten also wanted to ensure the class was practical, so he gives students the opportunity to apply what they were learning to realistic business situations. To accomplish this, he utilizes many class examples, sets aside time for in-class assignments, and makes projects a substantial part of the course.  "While people generally think of finance as quantitative, and it is, my projects always include a written component because I believe it is critical that students be able to clearly communicate their assumptions, methods, and the results of their analyses.  I also want students to be able to apply the concepts and tools they learn, and these projec...

Many young Americas hold down part- and full-time jobs while also attempting to pursue a college degree. Some are able to work on campus while completing their studies, while others work in hospitality or retail in the town where their college or university is located. Certainly not many, and probably not any, pursue a double major while also working halfway around the globe as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army during a significant military conflict. That description probably fits only Indigo Pullen , a  46S—Public Affairs Mass Communication Specialist  in the U.S. Army who is a  double major at CSU working towards a BBA in business management with a concentration in entrepreneurship and a BFA in fine arts.  In its role, Indigo's unit serves as the U.S. Army's journalists, photographers, and videographers, creating content for internal and external media. She produces news, manages social media, and supports media operations to tell the U.S. Army's story, which requires a ...
