35
At Odette, I received more than a business education.
I gained vital leadership skills to help me reach my potential.
Through intensive coursework, a lot of real world project
experience, many opportunities to lead student organizations,
and mentoring from faculty and business leaders like Richard
Peddie, I learned how to set a direction, attract resources, build
relationships and inspire others – attributes a leader needs.
Now, with the launch of the new
Richard Peddie Leadership
Initiative
, Odette is offering even more resources to develop
21st century leaders. If you want to become a leader
just do what I did... choose Odette!
“I wanted to be a leader.
That’s what led me to Odette.”
