EAST LANSING – Spotlight Michigan, a student led organization promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in Michigan, is pleased to announce the release of a research endeavor targeting college age students to better understand what Generation Y would like in a community.
As Michigan transitions to a new economy, “Michigan students are leaving the state, taking with them the innovative ideas and creativity needed to drive the new Michigan Economy. By marketing this survey to students, we are able to determine the direction Michigan must go to attract bright new talent” said Director of Marketing, Amanda VanderMeulen.
This research, along with comparative and statistical research, includes a survey tailored to determine the interests and desires of young college graduates and students.
