Kim is responsible for advising RMSMC’s student sales representatives, helping them develop and implement selling skills, and identifying business opportunities and generate advertising sales revenue for the Collegian. This is Kim’s fifteenth year at CSU. She has seen many students come and go through the advertising department. Each year she thinks there cannot possibly be another group of advertising representatives as talented as the ones before them, yet each year she is fortunate enough to mentor another group of tomorrow’s leaders.
