HOUGHTON - Students in one of Michigan Tech University's business enterprise teams aren't waiting until they are done with school to get their hands on real world work.
Thanks to a gift from the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation, students in the IT Oxygen Enterprise are developing custom software for non-profit organizations.

The Dow Foundation is underwriting the five-year, $2 million Non-Profit Application Development Initiative, which includes $1.2 million for Michigan Tech's School of Business and Economics. The funding will be used by the enterprise to develop computer applications for nonprofit groups such as United Way."
