Why I Teach at SPU

Vicki Eveland, Assistant Professor of Marketing; Program Director, MASSM

"I love having the opportunity to get to know my students and watch them grow. Being program director for our MA in Social and Sustainable Management has been especially rewarding. The program is an intense year-long journey that takes students without a business degree from novice to confident business professional. There is such a bond that forms with the students; and, the thrill of watching them stretch to meet each challenge is a great thrill for me."
