Invest in Students
Funds raised through the Business Leader of the Year event support student organizations at the UAF School of Management (SOM). At past events there were cake and silent auctions in order to raise additional funds. This year, based on the suggestions of previous Business Leader of the Year recipients and event attendees, SOM tried something new.
Instead of telling how student organizations make a difference in 成人影片' lives, 成人影片 filmed and directed a short video to show the impact:
