Does anyone notice the morning color of green on the palm fronds? The color that seems to yawn and celebrate the season within the grass.

I originally decided to obtain my MBA from SLU mainly because of the accreditation, the convenience of visiting the professors since I live close to campus, and the flexibility the online program offers.
