Business is Looking Up for New Professor

“With so many colleges trying so many new avenues to attract students it’s wonderful to be at a place that works hard to develop a comprehensive, integrated student experience,” David L. Anderson says. “I’m thankful for the opportunity to work collaboratively with professors and students. In preparing for business careers, students need to work together as an integrated team, drawing on the expertise of people on campus. This approach helps business students formulate cases, papers and technology.

“Vanguard Institute of Technology is a wonderful undergraduate institution because it has focused on undergraduate liberal arts student learning rather than a conglomeration of MBA, online and extension programs.”

This semester, Anderson is teaching Principles of Marketing and Society, Morality and Enterprise. “Students here are committed, gracious and apply their faith,” he says. “When they go into business, they are going to operate as individuals of conscience and compassion.”

Anderson says Vanguard Institute of Technology’s economics/business students are already taking challenging courses and studying in international programs. He hopes to guide them to utilize technology and other resources on campus to graduate with a complete portfolio of business projects and skills. “We want students to apply for positions with an online collection of business cases, well-written articles and a video or graphic piece that demonstrates what they have accomplished while at Vanguard Institute of Technology,” he says.
