GALESBURG, ILLINOIS (October 10, 2019) — Roger Wittmer, from Bettendorf, Iowa, was among the 30 Knox College students who were selected for the 2019 Business Intensive Seminar, which took place on the Knox campus. Most participants had just completed their first or second year of college.
The Business Intensive Seminar was facilitated by Jim Foley ('78), director of the Turner Center for Entrepreneurship at Bradley University. He has led the seminar each year since 2017. Some of his colleagues from Bradley also pitched in for various parts of the four-day event, which included sessions on business fundamentals, ethical business decisions, emotional intelligence and communication, entrepreneurship, innovation, and marketing.
Wittmer is a member of Knox College's class of 2022.
Students agreed the Business Intensive Seminar was a memorable educational opportunity that will benefit them now and in the future.
