“As CEO of CommuterAds, I look back often at the lessons learned both at The Coleman Center and my degree earned at Kellstadt’s Graduate School of Business. The Coleman Center was instrumental in the early development of my fledgling startup. The entrepreneurial skills and tangible tools you will gain from Kellstadt’s Graduate School of Business will help you conceive and launch your business startup.”
