Business and Computer Science - Perfect Together

By admin | July 16, 2008

It didn’t take long for me to make up my mind.  When the opportunity presented itself to fall back into the familiar haunts of a college setting I said, “Yes!” without a moment’s hesitation.  Dating back as far as 1993 when I first left Eastern College (now Eastern University) to pursue other career opportunities, I had long told anyone who would listen, “One day I’m going to work again at a college.”
