Business students are trained to solve problems.  So Southern Oregon University and several cities in Jackson County set the MBA students loose on homelessness. 

Students set out to assess community attitudes toward homeless people and problems, from the perspective of residents, businesses, and homeless service providers. 

Corey Murphy and Lisa Marston were on the team of students studying the business community attitudes.  We get a visit from Corey and Lisa to describe methods and results.
