Thank you for the opportunity to work with Janine Bower, Director of Instructional Design & Partnership Success at CapSource. I appreciate Janine’s professionalism and expertise in assisting me on these projects. It was very short notice, and I wanted to be sure that I could create projects that are beneficial to HIOKI and the Graduate Students. Her background as a professor gives her insight on how to navigate complex projects and create focused materials. I think the classes will have a great kick off with Janine’s assistance. I hope that I can work with Janine again on our future projects. Once again, I am thrilled with the opportunity, thank you!

During this Live Case collaboration, the Fashion Merch andising students of LIU, provided a lot of great information for us that usually takes so long to gather. I look forward to seeing the HERVE launch come to life. Our team is using influencers and strategies that the students suggested, so I hope all the students feel part of it! Our team has gleamed so much from this experience!

Even as a non-profit, we wrestle with complex strategic questions when it comes to running and scaling our operations. The students added capacity to our team and brought a new and fresh perspective to a critical research project. I believe that the students appreciated the challenge and learned a lot through the project. We’re excited to see that they are learning and growing as much as we are benefiting from their insights, which was our main objective for this engagement.
