My name is Olivia Long, and I am a senior.

For my capstone, I am planning on teaching two different mini classes this week on different topics, both related to marketing!

On Tuesday, I will be teaching a mini-class on marketing basics in Foundation Hall during office hours. If you are interested in marketing and business, I hope to see you there!

I will also be teaching a mini-class on how to market yourself during lunch this Friday in Foundation Hall! This class is perfect for anyone who wants to get better at interviews or wants to know how to best portray who they are and what they bring to the table (perfect for college applications, Juniors!).

2—No student should use someone else’s key fob or ID number to gain access to the buildings on campus after hours or on the weekend.  This is a safety and security issue. Students in violation of this will be issued a consequence.
