<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">As some of you know, this academic year, 27 RCSC students have been hard at work in a very unique retailing entrepreneurship project. Last spring, the students
grouped together into nine teams of three students each. When the fall semester started, each team began work on developing a business plan for opening a retail venture specifically for downtown Tucson. Through tours of downtown, visiting with existing merchants
and conducting surveys throughout the Tucson area about interests in downtown, the teams put together nine great ideas and plans. They then pitched their ideas - a la Shark Tank - to five individuals including local investors and entrepreneurs. From those
original nine, three teams were selected to continue the process as reconstituted teams of nine. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Starting on Sunday, March 29 and continuing to Saturday, April 4th, these three student-run retailers will open and manage real-world, popup stores in downtown.
All the net proceeds from the sales will go for student scholarships. Through the active support of the Downtown Tucson Partnership, we were able to secure the old Buffalo Exchange space at 250 E. Congress. The three companies will share this space during
the full week. Their store hours are 10am to 5pm each day. Sunday, March 29th, will be opening day launch events. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
