A spring 2023 BUS103 class, taught by John Starkey (Business), achieved remarkable success by raising a total of $5,001 to support six deserving local non-profits across the Las Vegas Valley. The following organizations were supported through this first-year seminar service learning project: Rubies LV, Nevada SPCA, Healing Hearts, Nevada Partnership Homeless Youth, Three Square, and Connor and Millie's Dog Rescue.
With the freedom to exercise their creativity, the following students demonstrated their resourcefulness and commitment to making a difference in their community by fundraising on behalf of these amazing organizations.
Participating students are as follows: Julyssa Andrade, Mateo Avilez, Tony Benton, Sydney Berger, Lorenzo Blanco, Sean Cannon, Reyna Carrera, Christjen Chavez, Michael Crow, Dylan Ford, Joshua Fortner, Alexa Hernandez-La Rosa, Tyreeque Isaac, Jamyus Jones, Shantal Lazcano Hernandez, Juliana Leung, Vincent Lin, Mia Perales Miranda, Dylan Redihan, Isabel Ritchie, Gabby Supan, Sophonias Tewelde, and Khalon White.
