“Education is a lifelong experience. Experience is a lifelong education. Education plus experience equals expertise.” -M. Bugeja

Through a little sweat equity, the lineup for MBA 590-005 Social Media & Management boasts an impressive list of social media practitioners and experts. In my time at NC State, the classes that tapped into industry leaders always taught me the most. In that line of thinking, we’ve searched for some of the top local experts and even a few remote presentations to help lend their experiences to the class.

It is going to be a very exciting semester! Please share and repost this entry to keep building awareness for the class. Thanks to NC State and Claudia Kimbrough for an up-to-date, practical course on social media. The class begins tomorrow!
