“The one thing I would say about all the professors and faculty at GCU is that everyone is just so human. There’s no ego with the professors in the Colangelo College of Business. A lot of them have been successful businesspeople, so they don’t have to teach. They do it because they care about their students and want to see them achieve great things in the world.”
