QUOTES:
"We are proud of Debranetta for her accomplishments, and we are happy to support her as she heads to San Diego," said Steve Allen, associate dean for graduate programs and research at NC State University's Poole College of Management. "The Sony Marketing Strategy Case Competition will be a change for Debranetta, as she will be working with students new to her, but this will provide more of a real world experience for her as, in business, it is not uncommon to be placed on teams with people you would not typically work with."
"Case competitions offer real world experience," said Gethers. "By attending them, I have learned how to leverage my strengths, which include attention to detail, the ability to determine key issues from incomplete information, and the ability to articulate solutions to complex problems. I am thankful to the Jenkins MBA program for supporting me in these endeavors. They have provided great learning experiences and exposure for both me and the Jenkins MBA program."
