Abstract:	The invention and active use of PowerPoint in university classroom has transitioned academic teaching from transparencies and overhead projectors into new ages of teaching and learning. The next challenge for professionals has been the appropriate and effective use of PowerPoint and lectures as it relates to working adults where a differing school of thought exist when lecturing through 50 to 100 PowerPoint slides as an effective way to engage graduate students. Progressive professors are using new tools that offer stories that provide context, relevance, and handles, for knowledge retention for graduate students through the use of case studies, simulations, and videos, including Donald Trump's The Apprentice. This paper provides contextual examples regarding how to use real world stories with student-centered teaching and learning as a means of engaging graduate students, connecting with them, and providing opportunities for the practical application of course content.
