Greetings!
Happy New Year! We are eager to begin the new semester when we will start planning the student businesses. There will be fewer business tours and more days in class so the students have time to work on their business plans and ventures.
For the next few weeks, we will be meeting on the second floor of the Rural King Corporate Office above their Mattoon retail store. Please plan to stop in anytime! You are welcome to join us for the beginning of class on your way to work or stay for the entire session. All guests will need to sign in at their front desk and receive a visitor pass. It would also be appreciated for you to leave the closer parking spots in their lot for Rural King customers.
