As students, they have access to the extensive college research databases including academic, industry, and primary research not generally available to the public or business owners.

As a participating organization, you’ll be asked to provide a particular question, topic or challenge that will be their area of focus. Their review and recommendations may encompass other areas as well, but they’ll provide specific recommendations to address your chosen focus.

Uses for the business plan could include, but are not limited to the following:
