Lander’s business students were celebrated recently for their success over the past academic year.
The annual awards ceremony for the College of Business showcased students who have been successful in the classroom during their time at Lander.
College of Business Interim Dean Dr. Lloyd Willis said he hears about the students in the college all the time, everywhere he goes.
“I couldn’t be more proud of the product we’re producing at Lander,” he said.
“Today is what I talk about. I talk about our students all the time and what we do to prepare them for the workforce and for graduate school after their bachelor’s degrees, so this is what it’s all about. We love to celebrate your achievements. If you’re graduating, we’re proud to see where you go next and track your success.”
