Gary Gollenberg Jr.Director of IT Services at Concordia College–New York
I only had 1 class [at Manhattanville College MS Integrated Marketing Program] with Chris but I wish that I had many more. Chris’ skills in the classroom are amazing. The presentation he gave is one of the top 3 I have ever seen. I am disappointed that I only had the 1 class with Chris because I would have improved my skills by being a class with him.
