What a fantastic day at the HIA-LI Trade Show! It was the perfect opportunity for my Virtual Enterprise students to step out of the classroom and into the local business community.

They did an incredible job networking and putting their business skills into practice. The absolute highlight of the day was reconnecting with my own mentor, Rita DiStefano, and seeing several of my past students thriving out in the workforce. So proud of the next generation of professionals!

Can’t wait to have you back next fall to help our classes kick off their new VE venture!!!
