I know the people below look like they belong to a legal defense team, but they are actually the newest graduates from William Woods University's MBA program. I had the honor of facilitating their final Capstone class and tonight they presented and defended their business plan for a local foods distributorship.

They did an amazing job and can be proud to have ended the program with a solid "A" on this important final project required before being allowed to graduate. Their presentation and marketing props including chocolate covered strawberries and carrot cookies were impressive and delicious! However, having learned from their presentation that the produce at my local supermarket has traveled 1,500 miles on average has made me a bit queasy. Makes me really wish one of them was turning their project into a real company!Carrot Cookies that they made are a light cake-like cookie with delicate flavor and my kids even liked the ones I brought home to them. The recipe is below.
