✨Badger alumni are out here making moves! Last week, Dr. Wellborn caught up with three graduates at the preview event for deMaiz Cantina, a new local restaurant owned by the family of Armando Rodriguez-Castro ('23).

Armando was back in Mobile for the opening before heading back to Los Angeles, where he works as a commercial pilot with Cirrus Aircraft. Also on hand: Scout Paulus ('23), currently pursuing a double master's at the University of Alabama — an MFA in Theatre/Theatre Arts Management and an MBA with a concentration in Arts Administration — and Ethan Sisk ('25), now Special Assistant to the Mayor of Mobile.

A fun full-circle moment: Ethan's first job as a student was with Armando's family business, a connection made when Dr. Wellborn's Warehouse Management class toured the facilities supporting their 25+ restaurant locations.

So proud of what this crew is building. Go Badgers! 🦡

CAREER SPOTLIGHT THURSDAY📋
Beyond the classroom 💜

Our CMM/MKT 472 Student Agency class welcomed their client to campus this week. The Shoulder, a non-profit serving people in recovery across Mobile and Baldwin counties, came in to brief the team on the project ahead. Students first pitched their credentials as “Think Agency,” then spent the rest of the session digging into the project.

Marketing, communications, and graphic design students showed off their own brand, pitched their skills, and look forward to putting theory into practice.

Over the semester, these students will handle research, branding, website, social strategy, and a full campaign, all leading up to their final presentation to the client in December.

Huge congratulations to our Badgers at the Launch Lower Alabama pitch finals last night.🦡💜

In the main street category, Claudia Robles, an SHC senior and entrepreneurship major, took first place and won $10,000 for her venture alongside her partner, Chris Autry. In the tech/scale category, Falon Humphries, SHC alumna, took second place and also won $10,000 for her venture.

We also want to recognize Ryan Carver, SHC alumnus, who competed in the tech/scale semifinals as the third Spring Hill entrepreneur in the program this year.

So proud of what these teams have built and how they represented Spring Hill on that stage. This is what putting your degree to work looks like.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support them, and to our partners at the University of South Alabama, Bishop State Community College, Coastal Alabama Community College, and Innovation Portal for making this program possible.
