-The administration is extremely responsive to student ideas, and because the program is on the smaller side, it is very nimble. For example, the Marketing Fellows program has been able to continue to expand and grow in the last two years because of incredible faculty support and assistance in new initiatives; this year, students in Fellows are managing a real live brand for Dr. Pepper and getting hands on experience that is unique to our program.
