Hopefully, everyone shoveled through Snowmaggedon 2026 without too much impact. Here at the NH beach, with two driveways, two snowblowers, a plow service, and most importantly, two high school brothers who live down the street, we weathered also giving me time to talk with the boys about high school, summer jobs and college choices.

The last class of the semester was this past Wednesday. Actually, it was one of the two exam presentation days-this past Wednesday plus the prior week-when the management of the project companies returns to Tufts for their final presentations. 30 students organized into 6 teams, companies with complex, semester-long marketing projects and a ton of work over 13 weeks of lectures, field work, road trips and four HBS case studies. We do a lot of “real world” in my class, and, this year’s students in both semesters were outstanding.
Since much of the course focuses on not only the strategies and execution tactics of the rapidly changing world of marketing, but also on tying that content back into how the students need to be marketing themselves, one of my personal deliverables is to make sure that the graduating seniors end up with the best jobs. Good news is that I’m pretty well connected and can open a few doors so that my graduates can now be found in sales and marketing jobs at great companies like HubSpot, Brainshark, Brown Brothers, Fidelity, Monitor, Siemens, Digitas, Jones Lang LaSalle and numerous other businesses among our customers and friends in the community.
