GRAPHIC DESIGN: If you need help with creating a logo or designing a new ad or Web site, the graphic design department is a great place to start.
CAMPUS CLUBS: Aside from working with professors and their classes, there also are many student clubs that focus on business issues who would be willing to partner with local businesses.
TAKE A CLASS: Taking a refresher course can help you stay on top of emerging trends and business theories.
SIT IN ON A LECTURE: Colleges often have industry leaders as guest speakers to share their stories of success and offer students advice for getting ahead in business.
GIVE A LECTURE: As a local business leader, you have a lot of knowledge that you can share with students to help them become successful in their careers.
