“The professors at Behrend have been so easy to work with. They make every effort to connect their presentation to the class content and find a way to engage students in the discussion.”

Mrs. Wethli, High School Business Teacher

” I think the presentation has done a great job explaining why we trade; the presentation lists reasons and examples of these trades happening.”

Kevin, High School Senior

” I thought the presentation was very good and I liked the activity we got to do to help explain how trade benefits people.”
