Student travels to Punta Cana

Allison Martin of Crawfordsville recently traveled to the Punta Cana region of the Dominican Republic, with 18 other members of Business Management Association (BMA), a student professional organization at AIB College of Business. The students earned the funds to finance the trip, which helped reinforce the business concepts they are learning at AIB.

?Our BMA members earned more than $35,000 through Ovations Food Service by working concessions at Wells Fargo Arena,? said Lynn Clark, Business Administration professor and faculty sponsor of BMA. ?They operated like a miniature business, setting difficult goals, strategizing ways to hit those goals and staying focused and motivated by keeping their eye on the prize.?

The students routinely worked six-hour shifts at Wells Fargo in addition to their part-time or full-time jobs and their studies, Clark said.
