The Program for Sales Leadership (PSL) under the direction of William Ryan and Mary Caravella, grew significantly this year, with total enrollment up 24% over the prior year. Enrollments have been climbing as more students become aware of PSL and the career opportunities. Our PSL partners continue to play a key role providing experiential learning support in-and-outside the classroom through sales role plays, an executive speaker series, internships, field visits, and networking sessions. In 2014, we welcomed CDW, a leading provider of technology solutions for business, government, education and healthcare, as a new partner. They join ADP, Altria, AT&T, EBP Supply Solutions, Enterprise, Liberty Mutual, Northwestern Mutual and Tom James.

We are looking forward to another exciting year for our PSL students. Students will compete at the Northeast Intercollegiate Sales Competition at Bryant University and the National Collegiate Sales Competition in Atlanta, GA. These competitions provide our students the opportunity to use their selling, communication, and interpersonal skills in a competitive setting; meet students with similar interests; and engage with corporate partners that support professional sales.
