BUSINESS PLAN CONTEST         

Through this Contest, teams of students research and develop business plans that are feasible, profitable and innovative. You can benefit from the students' service and fresh ideas by submitting an idea for a new business that students can develop into a solid business plan. And/or, you can have the satisfaction of helping to mold the next generation of business leaders by mentoring a team as they create a business plan. For more information, please contact Lori Krzeminski, Director of Business Events & Marketing, at (845) 257-2932.

INTERNSHIPS

Provide an internship. Interns can be a dynamic and profitable addition to your organization. Not only are most interns highly motivated and quick learners; they can also breathe new life into a company in the form of fresh ideas and familiarity with the latest business trends. The key to a successful internship is to provide a challenging and productive work assignment for the intern. Please contact Christine Daly, School of Business Senior Career Counselor, at (845) 257-2381 or dalyc@newpaltz.edu for more information.

MENTOR PROGRAM

Become a mentor. Mentors are invaluable. They provide support, encouragement and guidance. The School of Business mentor program links students to business professionals and assists students to achieve their educational and career goals with the help of a mentor. For more information, please contact Lori Krzeminski, Director of Business Events & Marketing, at (845) 257-2932. 

SHADOW PROGRAM

Take a student to work day. We connect students with businesses who are willing to have a student come and spend a day with them. The student will shadow a CEO or management level person as part of a career exploration project. Please contact Lori Krzeminski, Director of Business Events & Marketing, at (845) 257-2932.
