Organization Update
Message from the Executive Board
SCNO Alumni & Friends,
We wanted to take this opportunity to update you on the happenings of the organization as we approach the end of the semester. This semester we have four teams of student consultants working locally with nonprofits in the greater Lansing area. Additionally, we have a fifth team working with a client in Howell, MI. Our teams are coming off the mid-semester meeting ripe with ideas to pursue throughout their final analyses. We’re look forward to seeing all of their hard work help develop the surrounding area. We wanted to thank all of you that have contributed your time, insight, and generous support to the organization – we wouldn’t be where we are without you.
Sincerely,
SCNO Executive BoardSlide3
