Cardinal Corner reports successful first semester

The Cardinal Corner had a successful first semester at SMU! Thanks to everyone who supported MG315 Entrepreneurship’s small business venture. Profits from the student-run business benefited the following organizations:

Athletic Department - $95
Christ the Teacher Institute - $60
Men's Hockey - $82.50
Paintball Club - $40
Rugby Club - $254
Volunteer Committee - $12

Additionally, $500 was donated in support of the Taylor Richmond Benefit Dance, the class choice for the Fall 2010 semester charity.

The Cardinal Corner is a non-profit retail store located in the lower level of the Toner Student Center. Managed by the students of MG315 Entrepreneurship and supported by the School of Business, the mission of the store is to create an opportunity for entrepreneurship students to gain hands-on experience in operating a small business.

Each semester, the class donates profits from the Cardinal Corner to a charity of their choice. In addition, the store sells products for various SMU clubs, teams, departments, and organizations and returns 100 percent of the sales to benefit the SMU community.
