Spring 2009 Economic Turnaround Initiative
“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” Persian Proverb
An economic downturn certainly does make it easy to see the stars. In order to help Treasure Valley organizations shine brightly, we’re offering our star faculty, business consultants, and students to directly help local organizations during the Spring 2009 semester. Our goal is to help 200 local organizations via class projects, internships, faculty expertise, and business consulting by May 15. Below, we list just a few of the ways we can help.
