 BUREAU OF ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS RESEARCH

 There is established in the College of Business Administration a Bureau of Eco-
nomic and Business Research. One of the major purposes of this Bureau is to carry
out research undertakings designed to contribute to economic and business knowledge,
with primary emphasis upon the economy of Florida and the Southeast. A second
major aim looks to the future participation of the faculty members of the Bureau staff
in the curriculum for graduate training offered by the College of Business Administra-
tion and in this way to provide opportunity for graduate students to engage in specific
research projects. From time to time work may be undertaken permitting a similar
opportunity to undergraduate students.
 The Bureau publishes the results of its research undertakings as these are com-
pleted. It also issues a monthly publication, Economic Leaflets.
 The Bureau is a member of the Associated University Bureaus of Economic and
Business Research.

positions for its graduates, it operates a placement service and does everything it can
to assist students in securing employment after graduation.
