Our shop hosted the Economics Reading Group which is an entrepreneurship class led by Dr. Phelps. We had about 20 students crammed into our little woodworking shop, and we got to share with them how a two man guitar shop has been able to stay commercially viable for almost 20 years.

The students were actually very engaged. I'm sure the pizza and drinks didn't hurt, but it felt like a great practical learning experience that I wish I had received in college. Not that our experience will necessarily translate or that we had words of wisdom, but breaking the bubble of the campus and seeing how people have put their training into practice.

Anyway just a shout out to Ryan Phelps and what he's doing in the college of business.

Good stuff. They seem to really be focusing on entrepreneurship.

Not quite a new teaching hospital, but I'm here for the progress.

Does that mean other Health related programs could be added or will it be just Nursing? It adds a lot more questions in my mind, but I do think it is great.

If we could eventually get a Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, OT and PT that would be incredible.

I'm just so so glad to see it.

I guess I'm unclear about what this post is saying. I remember them advertising that they had gotten 2700+ enrollments in a single day. But doesn't this make it look like they are saying we had 20,000 students enrolled for the first time ever at SFA? That would be a huge increase over anything we've seen before. Also, it would seem to be almost double what SFA's own website has the official fall numbers at.



Am I missing something? Are they just talking about applications?

Ya. I'm pretty sure they're talking applications.
