Join us for the inaugural episode of Business Edge to learn all about the do’s and don’ts of joining a college campus. Kim Saxton, a clinical professor of Marketing at IUPUI and author, tells us what professors are looking for and how students can make the most of their time on campus.

Kim was recognized with a Woman’s Leadership Award by IUPUI’s Office for Women in 2018.
