I teach two courses-one in Marketing and the other in Sales within the Derby Entrepreneurship Center@Tufts, where I was Director of the Center before stepping down to return to my true love, which is working with our incredible students. I was humbled by being awarded the Henry and Madeline Fischer Award of Teacher of the Year by the School of Engineering.Both of these courses are highly interactive in which students work in teams of 4-6 and are placed in operating companies to work on semester-long marketing or sales projects which constitutes 50% of their grade.
