DURHAM, N.H. – The Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire invites businesses to engage with undergraduate and MBA students by submitting projects to be completed by student teams. 

“Engaging with outside organizations on projects gives our students a unique opportunity to apply their knowledge to solve real-world business problems while also strengthening Paul College's connections and contributions to the business community,” said Neil Niman, associate dean of Paul College.
