The Tillman School of Business at University of Mount Olive recently coordinated with the Curriculum Technical Education program at Duplin County Schools to hold an on-campus event. Approximately 100 students visited the University’s flight school and attended a lecture presented by Tillman School of Business faculty discussing different business disciplines. They also toured campus, ate lunch in the dining hall, and got to experience a bit of college life. The event provided students an opportunity to hear about different career paths such as aerospace, cybersecurity, applied computer science, finance, marketing, accounting, and management.
