Digital Marketing and eCommerce
“My personal measure of success as an educator is the number of students I can say I’ve helped make meaningful progress toward their life goals,” says Cowley. “A lot of that work happens outside of class, whether it’s helping students get jobs, or build their businesses, or connecting them with additional mentors.
