Buildertrend
Thursday, Oct. 24th, 9am-12pm, South Lobby of Howard L Hawks Hall (College of Business)
About Buildertrend: Since our company’s founding, it’s been a Buildertrend priority to treat people well — from customers to co-workers. That kind of camaraderie is what inspires us to attack each day with gusto. As we’ve grown from three dudes with a fantastic idea to a company with 400 employees, a sense of healthy competition has always fueled us. We’re only as good as our last accomplishment. And we challenge every Buildertrend employee to be better than they were the day before. We know progress is incremental, success is cumulative, and hard work feels great when you’re shoulder to shoulder with people you like.
Nebraska Book Company
Friday, Oct. 25th, 8:30am-12pm, South Lobby of Howard L Hawks Hall (College of Business)
About Nebraska Book Company: Nebraska Book Company is a systems developer, a solutions provider, and a textbook distributor, but most importantly, a partner to the independent college retailer. There is a greater advantage to a college campus, and to the community, by keeping the college bookstore independent. The College bookstore is a fixture on campuses in an era when the retail marketplace is the most complex. It is common these days for a school to perceive that the marketplace is, in fact, so complex that having an outside company come in to run the store is the only financially viable option. However, here at NBC we know better, and are confident in our ability to help independent stores run at their full potential.
