When COVID-19 started negatively impacting the economy a year ago, William & Mary M.B.A. students stepped up to help local small businesses.
That effort to provide free support services quickly grew into a partnership now coming up on its first anniversary between the Raymond A. Mason School of Business and the Hampton Roads Small Business Development Center.
Known as the CrimDell Small Business Network, the student-led organization gives participants an opportunity to work in pairs to help local small businesses strategize. Projects have included market research, marketing planning, IT consulting, strategy consulting, financial services and on-demand services.
