| Professor Profile________________________ | ||||
| In addition to being chair of the Department of Business Administration & Accounting at Saint Michael's College, a small residential liberal arts college of about 2,000 undergraduates in Colchester, Vermont, Robert Letovsky serves as an adjunct instructor at the Universidad Catolica de Occidente in Santa Ana, El Salvador and at the American University of Afghanistan, in Kabul. The American University of Afghanistan was started just three years ago, and offers “undergraduate business education in a country which is still recovering from over thirty years of war and civil unrest.”
Robert recently used NewShoes in an intro to marketing course there, and found “the students’ enthusiasm for learning and for competing against each other running a business was really amazing.” read more |

Sara defends his character by stating that he is “brilliant, clever, witty, highly observant, has a great understanding for the way people think and act, and is loyal to his friends, few as they may be.” read more | ||||

Tim joined the Interpretive team this June as a Customer Support Specialist in the Management Simulation Group. Tim works in customer support creating class websites, advancing simulations and doing simulation testing. He is also being trained in accounting and accounts receivable. read more |
