California State University, Stanislaus Executive Master of Business Administration students will present the results of a Turlock city-wide survey at this evening’s city council meeting.
After receiving 1,500 responses to a survey asking Turlock residents how they would like to use the city’s federal stimulus funds, city officials requested CSU Stanislaus Executive MBA students’ assistance in analyzing the survey results. The results of the survey will help determine how the city will use its federal stimulus funds.
Fletcher, the president of the campus Society for Human Resources Management, won the top student award and took home a $2,500 scholarship. This honor is bestowed upon only 10 students nationwide.
Turlock’s children need a miracle this holiday season.
For 15 years, a non-profit alliance of Turlock-based organizations called Turlock Together has helped Santa fill the space below Christmas trees in low-income Turlock residents’ homes.
The need is greater than ever before and time is ticking. About 6,000 new toys are needed this year. Thus far, Turlock Together only has 500. The alliance hopes to receive the rest within 21 calendar days, when the gifts will be collected and sorted for distribution.
About 200 CSU Stanislaus students have served in the military. They, other area veterans and supporters were invited to the event, which featured a posting of colors ceremony followed by a small reception and information fair for veterans of various ages and backgrounds. Participants signed cards that were sent to those currently serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.
