Faculty member Tracy Nickl (Marketing), Communications Coordinator Rosie Baker, and SOM student brand ambassadors Andrea Villasenor, Brissa Castaneda, and Michael Effatian presented two workshops to high school students at an event at Westlake Village High School organized byCalifornia Future Business Leaders of America - Gold Coast Section. The event drew about 450 students from all over Southern California.
