The Glasser/Schoenbaum Human Services Center empowers non-profits to closely network with other agencies and create synergistic energy towards the life changing opportunities we all want for our clients and those in our community.
Dr. Faizan Ali, Assistant Professor at USFSM's College of Hospitality & Tourism Leadership, was looking for opportunities to give his students real-world experience in our community. At Glasser/Schoenbaum, we are looking for ways to partner with our local institutions of higher education.
Thanks to mutual time spent reaching into the community, last September his graduate students met with a handful of agencies on the Glasser/Schoenbaum campus for a project focused on using students' marketing training to help solve a problem for four human services nonprofits.
With a focus on Hospitality and Tourism, the projects involved fundraising events for four organizations.
Dipping our toes into this kind of partnership came with takeaways about the project itself. The agencies got fresh insights about how we can all help our message get out into the world. The students got hands-on, real world examples of marketing challenges for nonprofits.
Everyone agreed that they would enjoy more time to explore the possibilities.

Real estate is one of the greatest costs in a business budget. Our partnership with the Glasser Schoenbaum Human Services Center allows more money to go towards our mission. And what better place to house our office than on a campus with nineteen other outreach agencies.
We are a small and young organization and having the ability to network and partner with other community organizations is key to the quality and impact of our work. In addition to the affordable space that The Glasser/Schoenbaum Human Services Center provides to all of us, it inspires us to use this collaborative model as we work to empower our students and their families.
I can't fully express how wonderful it is to take a client by the hand and walk them no more than a couple hundred feet from our office to another agency that can help them when they are in crisis.
As a small organization with a staff of two, employee safety was a big consideration when we were looking for office space. We did not want our employees to be in a place where they were alone. Being on the GSHSC campus has been great because there is a whole community of like-minded professionals.
