Student Run Businesses

What is a Student Run Business?

The Student Center supports and advises two student-run and managed businesses on campus. Full-time students are responsible for all aspects of their businesses, including but not limited to finance, personnel, inventory, marketing, and training. Working in a student-run business provides a unique opportunity for experiential learning, helping students gain hands-on skills useful for any career path. Businesses are advised by Student Run Business Advisors, who are full-time staff members.

Mission
