NEW BEDFORD — William Baker III has struggled with dyslexia almost all of his 19 years — he was diagnosed at 18 months as part of a Rutgers University study.

Haskayne students learn to sell and to inspire
Final exams are looming for students of the Haskayne School of Business and smiles are probably the last thing you would expect to see in Scurfield Hall. But that’s exactly what you’ll find if you show up on Thursday morning, December 8, when the participants of the Selling Smiles Program will proudly present their earnings to a very deserving local family.
For the past six years, HSB assistant professor Derek Hassay has challenged the students in his Sales Management course to gain “real world” selling skills by selling Cutco Cutlery to raise funds for the Children’s Wish Foundation. Sales teams of 5 students are given a small budget and sample kits, and asked to develop and implement an effective sales strategy. Not only do they learn valuable selling and sales management techniques such as handling rejection, it also teaches them the value of giving back to their community. To date, his students have raised more than $150,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation, granting wishes for 11 local children.
