The partnership includes an undisclosed donation to the university’s foundation.
As part of the deal, the school will do an economic impact study that is expected to take place later this fall. Although the aim is to have the facility staffed by mid-summer, the economic impact study will be conducted afterward allowing for time for those workers to affect the local economy, according to the center’s director John Talbott, who allowed that “hiring at this point is a bit challenging.
Aligning with major retailers is not new terrain for the Kelley School’s center. Macy’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Home Depot, Target and Kohl’s have recruited its students and the school “systemically engages” with all the top retailers for in-classroom work like case studies. “Hundreds” of Indiana University students take internship positions and later full-time jobs with many domestic retailers, Talbott said. “It’s not dissimilar to that.
As is typical with other partners, Shein has made an undisclosed donation to Indiana University’s Foundation. That contribution will be used for programming and in relation to the economic impact study. Declining to specify the amount that Shein has given, Talbott noted that in the late ’80s or early ’90s, Sears & Roebuck made a donation to the Kelley Center for about $850,000. “That is not what we are seeing right now, I can assure you. But the landscape has changed.
