“My participation in the CBMI will enhance my professional career at MSU by improving my skills and knowledge to make effective decisions.” – Tonya Calmes
CBMI is a great program to participate in, said Young. “It was very informative and gave us insights into the current issues facing higher education. It was also a great networking opportunity in a very diverse population. I highly encourage any administrator in higher education to attend in the future.”
