Rainier Flight - Discovering new markets through new media
Expanding in the South Sound. Gordon Alvord, Rainier Flight Services, explains how Milgard students helped decide the future of the company.
I see great value in a partnership such as [Students Assisting Business]. There are special projects where we need expertise but do not warrant an employee year-round.
Alvord added that he was looking forward to exploring opportunities with the Milgard School of Business and the SAB program. He emphasized the importance of the real-world experience that Rainier Flight Services and other companies offer to students.

Applying classroom strategies to real business. Senior Marketing major Ranie Betzina relates how she applied what she learned in class to challenges of business during COVID-19 restrictions.
Business owners had an end goal in mind. In class, the objectives would be handed to me. Here, I had to come up with an objective to help the businesses.
Betzina greatly enjoyed and benefitted from her experience with Students Assisting Business and TheyNeedXYZ. When asked if she would advise other students to participate in an SAB job, she enthusiastically pronounced “Absolutely! 100%.”
