It's great to hear from our MWCC Business Degree graduates...
 

Hello Prof. Bolduc,

I hope things are going well. I was just looking at the MWCC Business program website, saw your name and wanted to say hello. Since graduation from MWCC, I've wrapped up my BBA & MSA (Masters of Science in Accounting) at UMass Amherst.

I've also recently become a Certified Public Accountant in MA - just think, all of that started in your Accounting 101 class!! I think it's great to see that the school is promoting the transfer program and the earning potential with a business degree. I can vouch for it first hand.

Take care and enjoy the summer weather!

Hey Prof. Greenwood,

It's Ross Hauptman from two semesters ago. I'm here at UMass in the Isenberg School of Management and something happened today that reminded me of your class and on the impact you had on me as a teacher. I'm enrolled in a capstone course for Marketing called SOM 441 which is a senior level marketing management course. Our first project was an in-depth SWOT analysis of the Polaroid Company.

After countless hours of hard work I handed in my lengthy report/project feeling pretty good about it. Today in class the teacher informed us that the average grade was a 61% for my particular case study (Polaroid) and he proceeded to tear apart everything that we did wrong.

To make a long story short as I flipped through the pages of my returned project I saw the grading rubric and found that I had "aced" it. A 100% as a junior in one of the most important senior level courses in my school! I can't explain how excited/proud I was but the first thing I thought was back to a particular day in your class. I had just finished giving my portion of one of your infamous group projects and you pulled me aside and asked what my major was. I returned "Bus. Administration" to which you replied "marketing".

Since that day I haven’t looked back or worried about what direction I would take in my degree/career. So I just wanted to say thank you for everything you taught me in class and the faith you put in me and just wanted to share this accomplishment of mine.

Sincerely,

Ross Hauptman

P.S. If MWCC business students have questions about UMass, the UMASS Isenberg School of Business or the transition to a large four year school please don't hesitate to give them my email...I'd be happy to talk to anyone about it.
