A former chain store manager, McKeage has been trying to impart that notion to UMaine business school students through a special retail management class, possibly the only such class in Maine, according to one retail industry specialist.
McKeage is concerned that retailing as a career choice for college graduates with business degrees suffers from an image problem and may be overlooked by many students. Read more about McKeage's class.
