DEX Awards ceremonies never change…
Well said!! Your spotlight on stage was rather fleeting!! You will be missed on our team, Kirstin!!
Thank you Dr. Cornwall for helping lead these fabulously talented students. We are very proud of what Belmont University has accomplished, and especially proud of our daughter Kirstin Long. I don’t think you have heard the last of Hello Cupcake! Sincerely, Stephanie & Keith Long
The fact that the professor is working to provide students with real world advice is great. Too much of school is too far removed from real world applications. For those seeking to acquire a business and want real world solutions read along with me.
