The students just took the project and blew it out of the water" That is how professor Griffith creates successful management professionals and future leaders says the dean.

Murr was involved in the Make-a-wish Foundation project and he elaborates that "The cause was one with which most students identified readily, so I think that enabled a real sense of ownership of the project, not just in the sense of class participation, but because we really wanted to do as much as we could for the kids". Griffith said that What began as a lesson in business principles and leadership ended in a life-changing experience about stewardship and social responsibility.
