On Tuesday, Sept. 15, the University of Nevada Business Student Council sponsored a free barbeque for UNR students. The barbeque is a part of Business Week, which is taking place on the campus until Friday, Sept. 18. UNR students eat it up, forming a line for the free hotdogs and hamburgers that extends from the business building almost all the way to the journalism building.

“The goal is name recognition,” Albright said.
