Dali decision

College students had a real-world experience, not a surreal experience, at The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg this past semester.

About 40 students from the strategic management class at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg Kate Tiedemann College of Business spent the semester learning how the museum, dedicated to the work of surrealist painter Salvador Dali, operates. Strategic management is a capstone course all business students must take before graduation.

“Students get a lot out of it,” USF St. Petersburg Kate Tiedemann College of Business strategic management professor Steve Diasio tells Coffee Talk. “There's a strong connection with concepts and theories they're learning in class that are put into practice.”
