“Ms. Melody Short organized the Off Island Intensive for the MBA Students at the University of The Bahamas. This is the final course in the MBA program which exposes students to a cadre of leaders, entrepreneurs, financial decision makers, entrepreneurs and others from various types of businesses. The week long events were organized by Ms. Short with a cadre of excellent speakers. The MBA Students have stated that it was an experience they would never forget. The sessions were well organized, the topics were topical, and the speakers were excellent, informative and knowledgeable. A wonderful experience and exposure indeed. Much knowledge transfer occurred. Ms. Short did an excellent job in organizing the daily events and speakers.”
