Describe one thing that you are working on or is happening in your classroom that you are excited about.

In my Intro to Management class, the students work in teams to come up with an idea for a product or service, actually make it, and sell it for money. Every year, I am amazed at what freshmen come up with.

What's one piece of advice you have for Latinx students at Wentworth?
