Graduate students in The College's BADM 779 Spring 2026 course, Graduate Seminar in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, have completed a comprehensive assessment and mapping of the value network and supply chain of Nevada's Creative Economy Industry sector. These students will present their findings, including an assessment of identified gaps and targeted community and economic development approaches designed to address those gaps, during the symposium.
