More than fifty PNP students and faculty participated in Link Day on Friday, February 22nd for the student-run consulting event that matched MBA students and local nonprofit organizations. Ten Boston-area organizations were served this year - the most since Link Day's founding in 2000. Laura Hennessey Martens (VP of Development & PR for New Hope, Inc.) said, "We could not have asked for a better experience. We will take away not only the foundation for a strategic marketing plan, but the motivation to execute it. Thank you for making our 'day out of the office' such a worthwhile one."
