I felt honored to be part of the session and welcomed into the group. My foot was tapping, and I couldn\u2019t stop myself from singing \u2018Bring Me Sunshine\u2019 for the rest of the day.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Marketing Tactical Plan<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another highlight was contributing to the marketing team\u2019s \u2018tactical plan,\u2019 which allowed me to use and develop skills and knowledge from my MA course.
