Success story Cody Dias smiling.
I chose Marketing as a major, with a minor in Operational Management with the goal of providing businesses with critical information about target markets, key metrics, and strategies that can be used to improve customer relationships and promote growth. I found my niche within marketing research, strategy, and implementation. The faculty and staff have greatly impacted my growth as a young business professional by sharing their experiences, insights, and successes.
