Joe Larocque Jr. is a Tax Consultant at Deloitte. Colleagues describe him as "Mr. LaRocque was a *the* top performer in my "Strategic Management" class at Towson University's College of Business and Economics. He showed his ambition to learn and frequently asked very good questions in his pursuit of knowledge in the classroom. His ability to demonstrate his understanding of management concepts was substantial and I found all of his work to be on-target. He was able to adapt to the many types of assignments given and I am confident that he will thrive in an organization that provides professional challenges that require initiative, creativity, and resilience. Additionally, he was part of a student team for the Strategic Case Competition, which is the most prestigious competitive event hosted at Towson University’s College of Business and Economics. This semester teams were studying McCormick & Company, a world-renowned Fortune 500 firm that approached the University to see if the fresh minds of students could help them with a particular challenge. His team competed against other teams in my class and won to make it to the finals, where they presented their suggestions before McCormick executives. He played a critical role in the team’s success."
