Undergraduate Voices
A person with a goal needs careful and thoughtful planning and execution if he or she is to attain success. There exist multiple layers of decision making, management, and maintenance to provide continuity, growth, and prosperity (McCormack, 1990).

Full Issue: Bridging The Gap (Vol. 2, Issue 1), Marianna Richardson
Marriott Student Review
A bridge brings together two pieces, which normally would not connect. Without the connecting link, those two sections would be separate. For example, a bridge between two landmasses gives travelers access to new locations, new vistas, and possibly even new opportunities.

The connection needs to be maintained and inspected regularly for cracks, fissures, or signs of wear that should be fixed immediately. In this issue of Marriott Student Review, the authors have explored the bridges built in business and the importance of maintaining those connections.

Ironically, they do so even when recruiting for faculty positions that target candidates specializing in the pedagogies and practices of effective communication.
