University of South Alabama Mitchell College of Business management students studied and offered advice to the Women’s Business Center, a local women’s business advocacy group, as part of a fall management course. Dr. Jeanne Maes, professor of management, led her students to analyze the brand awareness and fund-raising efforts of the group and offer suggestions to Women’s Business Center Executive Director and Founder Kathryn Cariglino during their final presentations. The students suggested resources for the Women’s Business Center and made contacts for Cariglino. Both Maes and Cariglino were pleased with the students’ efforts.
