John Starkey (Business) taught two sections of BUS 103 in the fall in which students raised $7,175 for three local charities — Family Promise - Las Vegas, Tortoise Group, and Furgotten Friends Dog Rescue. Students also evaluated each organization and created marketing plans for fundraising efforts that will be shared with the organizations. Community projects are part of the BUS 103 curriculum, and Starkey has found success year after year in guiding his students to support local charities. Starkey is an academic advisor in the Lee School.
