Mountaineers Sans Frontières

Mountaineers Sans Frontières

Students working with the Robbins Center for Global Business and Strategy took part in an experiential learning project that combined local service with international impact. 

A team of five graduate and undergraduate students collaborated with another team of five from George Washington University to help NIU by Talls – a juice company based in Hermitage, Pennsylvania – enter new global markets. The students advised NIU by Talls on country selection and analysis, marketing plans and operational logistics. The six-week project culminated in a presentation to the company's management team. 

" This project is a win for both our students and NIU Beverages,” said David Dawley, executive director of the Robbins Center. “The students gained access to resources, insights, and the mechanics of consulting.”

Leaving her own Mark

For many students, WVU feels like family. For Amaya Gray, it is family. Gray’s grandfather, Ken Gray, may have founded the long-standing program WVUp All Night (which hosts events and activities for students as an alternative to the bar scene), but Gray is leaving her own mark as a Mountaineer. She’s been part of the Career Readiness Program with our in-house Center for Career Development, served as a Peer Mentor for incoming freshmen in BCOR 191 and a Chambers College Ambassador, has been a member of the Student Managed Investment Fund (SMIF) with Naomi Boyd, and founded Students of Color in Business with the help of Susan Lantz. “Students of Color in Business is geared towards business students and business minors, as well as any student who wants to be an entrepreneur or learn more about business,” Gray said.
