Students create new WMU-branded products

Entrepreneurship students will run their own businesses with proceeds benefiting WMU’s Essential Needs Hub, which assists students with unmet basic needs. Working with the University’s trademarks and licensing area, students led by Tamara Davis, instructor of management, will develop WMU-branded products, and a subsequent course will operationalize a business plan to sell the products. 

All profits will be donated to the WMU Essential Needs Hub on campus to service WMU students. 

Exclusive WMU items will be available to you soon—stay tuned!
