During the competition, we
overheard…
“ Who knew I could use my love of my phone and social media and
make it my job? – SuitUp student
It was difficult because there are a bunch of ideas that you weren't
thinking... but then you hear them and others. And you want to pick
them all, but you can only choose one. And you have to choose the
best. It's like... the community trying to pick a president! – SuitUp student
You all know more about marketing than we do. Our bosses should
look to hire you all ASAP! – Morgan Stanley volunteer
