Professionals give students an expanded view

As a Coker College instructor I am particularly grateful to people who will join our class to share some of their insights about how the "real world" works. Students also seem to really appreciate this expanded view and often spend more time after class getting additional conversation with the outside speakers.One of the projects on which the students are working is a marketing communication plan for the Inn and Scott Gupton of the Landmark has been to talk with the class on a couple of occasions.
