Released by the Baptist College of Florida …
The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) in Graceville reached a historic milestone last month – celebrating the one-year anniversary of the opening of the campus store ‘Izzy’s Isle’.
Seeking new opportuntities for students to make real-world application of the principles and theories discussed in the classroom, the campus store was a product of the Principle of Marketing course. The class developed a marketing and managment plan for a campus store and since opening a year ago it serves as an environment for business students to grow their understanding of the various functions of business and provides the perfect outlet for the sale of BCF merchandise.
BCF Student and Campus Store Manager Cassidy Lanford stated that her position in the store offers her multiple opportunities to use the management skills learned as a BCF Leadership major. “I daily get the opportuntiy to apply the things I’m learning in the classroom in real world scenarios,” stated Lanford. “I’ve been working at Issz’s Isle since August of last year. Whether it’s management, marketing accounting, ethics, or everything in between, this position has taught me and grown me not only as a business major, but as a leader and Christ follower. The store stands as a platform formyself and my coworkers to fully grasp the varying components of a business through the hands-on experience. I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work under the leadership of Professor Chantel Oney in BCF’s campus store.”
A year later, the store that once was a vision in the marketing class is now a realtiy. Located just inside the BCF Students Center, “Izzy’s Isle” is stocked with high quality, affordable, BCF attire and collectables. The items in the store include BCF “lettered” memorabilia, alumni attire, tumbler cups, lanyards, snacks and essentials. Everything in the store is also available online for purchase.
