Lots of college students have part-time jobs. When Bud Colligan was at Georgetown University, his part-time job was founding Vital Vittles, which grew into one of the largest student-owned businesses in the country.

It was a sign of things to come. Bud was part of the original Macintosh team at Apple. He went on to lead Apple’s higher education marketing.
