Unsuitable Organizations for your Project:

The following companies are not suitable for your course project (for a variety of reasons). Please do not contact them:

IBM
WalMart
Staples
West Coast Video
The Bull Run
Lewisburg Hotel
Any Bucknell Department or Organization (Due to their ties to the University, many departments do not participate in an "open market" and are subject to many internal constraints. As a result, these settings are often not robust enough for a group project in this course.)
