What a session covers
A faculty advisor and a small student team work through whatever the owner actually needs that week — a basic bookkeeping system, a first website, a lease negotiation question, a hiring decision — rather than a fixed curriculum.
Who runs it
Business, marketing and accounting students earn course credit for the work, supervised by faculty who review every recommendation before it goes to the owner; nothing leaves the clinic without that review.
In and around Porter Falls
Porter Falls is a town of about 17,000 that has always shared its workforce with the university. Projects are scoped to the Valley first: Porter, Cedar Bluff and Redgranite before anywhere else.
The practical details
Where: Foundry Coworking, downtown, Thursdays. Who it serves: Businesses under 20 employees, priority to new owners. Cost: Free. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Office of Outreach & Engagement (Millwright Hall, Room 120). Call (715) 555–0235 or email engage@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
