Admiring Phil Knight…Brittany Marquez
I admire Phil Knight, the CEO of Nike. He made a business plan and started selling shoes out of the trunk of his car at track meets across the Pacific Northwest back in the 1960’s. He didn’t love the “swoosh†logo at first, but it is now one of the most recognized logos ever. As […]
Confidence in Writing…Brittany Marquez
As a TEM (Tourism and Events Management) major at George Mason University, we do not do a ton of writing in long form; it is mainly documents, forms, resumes, etc… Since working with iMADdu, I have gained experience creating blog posts and articles, critiquing other people’s writing, and summarizing research that I have been completing.

Blank Canvas Building…Yara El Mowafy
What an honor to finally be a part of the iMADdu team! As a born and raised Egyptian, I grew up very privileged and fortunate yet witnessed daily ordeals of the lower classes.

Will the tunnel ever end?…James Freeman
I sit here, at WVU. Struggling to work 60-70 hours a week and trying to finish 6 or more classes a semester. Life’s tough, but whose fault is that? Who decided to go to an expensive out of state college just in spite to “get away from it all†Was it really worth it? I […]

There are many different realms of event planning, and after my apprenticeship […]
Great step in the right direction…Felicia Der
From my perspective, being an apprentice is a great step in the right direction. It is a great learning tool to enhance planners to strengthen ideas and personalities. Textbooks can only bring you so far; while being an apprentice you can think of it as a “real world simulator†that will give participants real world […]
Experience is crucial to the workforce…Robert Percacciolo
Textbooks and lectures cannot simply foster an effective workforce. A crucial component of having a truly effective workforce is experience. Apprenticeship provides just that. Through an apprenticeship, students are presented with the tremendous opportunity to immerse themselves in an organization and really learn how it runs. While text books may tell students how a business […]
Apprenticeship in the Workforce…Phimolwan Rungsaengmanoon
In my opinion, not only educational knowledge but also real experiences are very important sources for successful careers. One of iMADdu’s slogans is, “Bridging the gap between academic and practical through apprenticeâ€. Apprenticeships will give students the opportunity to apply their educational knowledge in real business situations. Also, learning business aspects from practices will broaden […]
