University Diaries salutes… …Craig Zamzow, business professor at Plymouth State University and this year’s winner of the karaoke contest at Mitch's Family Restaurant and Pub. A quick Google search reveals that Zamzow, “dressed to the nines in a tuxedo accented with a red cummerbund, performed the Frank Sinatra hit, My Way" not merely because he likes to sing, but because his academic specialty involves helping grow small businesses like Mitch’s: “I'm just excited to see a new downtown business really succeed. Dan Mitchell (the restaurant owner) took a big risk and expense with the prizes and everything and I'm just really happy to see they are getting the support they deserve." Zamzow's academic supervision of PSU students as they advise local businesses on how to grow has increased the visibility of the university. Zamzow, who “walked off the stage to serenade audience members in the packed pub,” won “first prize among the field of 15 competitors and received an all-expense paid trip to Disney World.” He’s considering donating the prize. |
