Marketing is not just for greedy capitalists anymore!

Although business is usually one of the more impacted majors on most campuses, things are a bit different here at the Imperial Valley Campus of San Diego State University. We have a bit of a "chicken-and-egg" problem here since we need students to be able to offer more courses but need the enrollments to offer the courses.

Therefore, I am trying to market my courses to non-business majors as well. Not only do I hope that this will increase enrollments, but I also hope the knowledge will be used to make the world a better place.

Here is the text from a flier I am distributing. The "real thing"--with proper formatting and clipart--is available at http://www.larsperner.com/pdf/Greedy%20Capitalists.pdf .
