Professor Meeks' thoughts on the discussion board always leaned toward real–world applications. She shared client examples and always kept me thinking of the business implications of our learning.

Professor Meeks is probably one of the best professors that I have had at WVU. She engaged us with real like experiences, helpful tips and tricks and offered solid advice. This will definitely help me in my career! Immediate gratification.
