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
- CVS
- 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.)
