While we have strong bonds with the association our students are extremely excited about hosting the show on campus again. We have been bringing auto shows to the West Palm Beach area since 1988 and this one will be extra special. We are loading up lots of special added features - including cars highlighting the latest technology and a large vendor exhibit with all kinds of things for the public. Our theme for the show, 'Bringing the Excitement Back' is so appropriate on many levels," said Automotive Marketing Professor Timothy Gilbert. 50 Years of Enterprise and Ethics Northwood University is marking its 50-year anniversary.
