BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Steve Schaefer flnstructorj I teach Business Administration at Black Hawk East. I have entered teaching here because I desired to find out whether I would enjoy teaching as a lifetime profession before continuing with a Ph.D. I believe that actual exper- ience in practical business situations should supplement text book theoriesg therefore, I have conducted with my classes a series of marketing surveys, price comparisons, and financial position papers. In the near future I will be pur- suing a Ph.D. at Berkeley. BUSINESS OCCUPI-XTIONS Carolyn Beechler flnstructorj I joined Black I-Iawk East Faculty in September of I970. This is my first year of teaching on a junior college level. I had previously taught business education in Michigan, Missouri and Illinois for a total of five years. In my courses I try to teach what I feel is important as a result of the several years of secretarial experience I have had. In the future I hope to continue graduate study and my college teaching. I was awarded my B.S. degree from Western Illinois University and my MA. degree from Michigan State University. 22
