CSU
................Approved.............
SPONSORED: How Cool is That? At Cleveland State University, the character of our students is one of the things you’ll find most engaging. Take, for example, Maria Weybrecht, an entrepreneur who earned both a Bachelor of Business and an MBA at CSU. As a student who was battling cancer at the time, Maria founded "Kids in Flight" www.kidsinflight.org, a non-profit organization that gives seriously ill children a chance to soar with their dreams, using aviation to encourage them. These children and their families were given the opportunity to experience the joy of flying through Weybrecht's annual charity event. And she's the kind of student you’ll find at CSU -- someone who is engaged in their career and their community. Nance College of Business: 216.687.3730, cba@csuohio.edu or www.csuohio.edu/cba.
