Meet New Colleagues: The Growing #DragonFamily
As we near holiday break we reflect on how our Dragon Family has grown this past semester.
Here are some photos and tidbits about new colleagues on Twitter. (Read the full stories by clicking on names below.)
These stories came about through interviews with students. (Marketing students interview new employees as practice before interviewing alumni and donors for other stories.)
We invite you to read these student interviews with faculty and staff* to learn about new teammates and to welcome them, albeit belatedly, to the Dragon community.
