RISE29 Interns Show Off Fall Presentations
RISE29interns had a productive fall semester, working with 11 regional small business clients to help them develop new ventures and grow existing operations in Beaufort, Hyde, Martin and Pitt counties. Twenty-four students from various departments across campus participated and provided approximately 5,600 hours of fieldwork.
