Introduction to Business students pitched their own nonprofit organizations. Students had to think like true executive directors and master the full business ecosystem by incorporating clear, compelling mission statements, sustainable funding sources, an efficient operational flow and the tax laws and transparency requirements that surround real-world nonprofits. Great job!

Thanks to everyone who made our Manufacturing, Trades and Industry Expo a succesful evening! MTI has led students to internships and careers. Some students are even employed part-time while they're still in high school after connecting with vendors at MTI. We also loved seeing children of all ages being fascinated by the machinery.
