  Next Steps:

  Grant application

“That is probably the best way to describe what I want other core

courses to implement. It is bigger than any class concepts. This

semester BUS 327 class had great articles from various magazines

and authors world-wide that were concerned with global

issues….pollution, environment, politics or economics….it was very

helpful to learn about any of these topics that were on the global

level. Also, the variety of different magazines and article at the

same place was fantastic, so I strongly encourage other Professor to

copy Professor Matesi’s style with Flipboard, because it will give so

much more insight than any other textbook.”
