Students in Lander University’s College of Business and Technology are ready for success in their chosen career fields and that career-readiness was on full display in early April as the college held its annual academic awards ceremony.

“When our students enter their professional careers, they carry with them a spirit of innovation,” Dr. Lloyd Willis, dean of the College of Business and Technology said. “Our alumni aren’t just ready for the workforce; they are ready to redefine it. I am immensely proud of our students’ achievements and look forward to the impact they will undoubtedly make.”
