Each 1 Teach 1 trains leaders

James Apple, CEO of Burroughs and Chapin, and his wife Denise Apple, a local philanthropist, recently delivered the keynote speech to celebrate the completion of Coastal Carolina University’s Each 1 Teach 1 Institute program.

The leadership development program is designed to engage high school students in areas of leadership and management. In all, 18 local high school students completed the program. Students of the program were instrumental in organizing the upcoming Holes for Goals mini-golf tournament, which takes place Saturday, Oct. 5, at 11 a.m. at Captain Hook’s Golf Adventure.

According to Yoav Wachsman, CCU associate professor of economics and programs director for Each 1 Teach 1, four Brown scholars and a variety of community and business leaders organized the two-week program. Faculty and staff from CCU also assisted with the program. They include: Eileen Soisson, director of service excellence; Mark Mitchell, chair of marketing; Michael Latta, associate dean of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business; Cara Scheuer, manager of student development and retention for Wall College; Nicholas Twigg, an associate professor of management; and Sara Wise, coordinator of employer relations and career counselor for career services. 

The Each 1 Teach 1 Entrepreneurship Institute was started by a generous established gift from the Brown Family – Thomas P. Brown Jr., his wife, Jessie Brown, and their son Thomas P. Brown III. The institute serves both Coastal Carolina University students and area middle and high school students. It is a unique partnering between the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration and the Spadoni College of Education’s Biddle Center for Teaching, Learning and Community Engagement.
