Faculty Spotlight: Laurie Earp
“My class empowers students with enough information so they can go back to their job or client and say that's a great idea. Let's move forward, or I have concerns. They actually do plan out an event, so they get the theoretical and the practical. Over the years, several of the events that they were doing in class were actual events that they were taking back to their organizations.”
