Golf is beneficial for students to know while working in business. Being able to broaden your network for all business professionals is advantageous to being successful so the basic knowledge of the sport is helpful. Special thanks to Spencer at Golf Headquarters Waterloo driving range for welcoming our WCC School of Business today!!

Students in the WCC Salesmanship and Sports Marketing classes enjoyed a sales presentation and tour at Scheels in Cedar Falls this week. The history of the company, employee ownership, and the importance of culture are some of what makes Scheels different. Many thanks Scheels… Awesome experience!

Principles of Marketing students have been working this semester with the WCC Ag Dept on marketing the FFA Plant Sale (which starts tomorrow!) Students met with the “customer,” came up with a proposal, sought feedback and worked through each aspect of the plan to get the word out to the most possible customers. One culminating activity occurred today while two of our WCC students were interviewed on air with KWWL! One student said, after a complete tour, spending time on set, and building their network with numerous local business leaders, “This is the best field trip I’ve ever been on!”
THANK YOU, doesn’t seem like enough for this extension of our student’s learning!

Students in Intro to Business class enjoyed an entrepreneurship talk this morning from Shelly and Robert Cooper at Barnwood Brew in Evansdale. Sharing the challenges and successes they’ve experienced in the past year and a half of business made the coursework come to life. The business has grown so fast that another location is opening soon in Cedar Falls at College Square Mall! Thanks so much for the coffee and this real world learning!

Friday’s WCC Leadership Summit was an event planned and carried out by students in the Principles of Management class.

Many thanks to Angela Weekly w/ Veridian, Iowa State Representative Timi Brown-Powers, Joe Green w/ the Waterloo Blackhawks, and Austin Palmer w/ John Deere! Lots of learning and networking, great kids, great day!!

Principles of Marketing students have been working hard on a real-world marketing collaboration with our agriculture / FFA department and their Spring Plant Sale. This team of marketers chose to work with "print media" and contacted the Waterloo Courier asking for a journalist to complete an article (and photo) of the upcoming event. They also reached out to the Black Hawk County Farm Bureau for them to include it in the local SPOKESMAN publication.
