Hello world!First semester has been a whirlwind of exciting accomplishments and new developments for FE.

Hello World: My name is Joe Guy (yes that is my real name) and I am the CEO of one of the largest student-run businesses in America: Flyer Enterprises. I enjoy friends, music, movies, long walks on the beach, and oh yea….leading a $1.4 million company that employs over 150 of the most talented students at UD. My FE birthday is September 9, 2007 where I started working as a

I've Caught the FEver!

I’ve always said that the only thing wrong with Flyer Enterprises is that you can’t work for the company your whole life… they actually make you retire when you graduate! After five years of working for the best company and with the best people in the world (yep, I meant what I said in the video!), it’s amazing to see how far we have come in such a short time period.In five years, we have opened

Flyer Enterprises is Making it Happen!

2010-02-17T22:23:00.005-05:00

During the past few months, we have seen a lot of ideas actually take off within Flyer Enterprises:Transition time is a great opportunity for new ideas and to rethink our current structure and operations. After evaluating our leadership structure, we decided to reorganize some of the executive positions. A new position was created called the Vice President of Corporate Development who is in

Exciting Times at Flyer Enterprises

2009-10-27T12:34:00.012-04:00

The past two months have been very exciting ones for Flyer Enterprises:In mid-September, six FE executives took a road trip up to Georgetown University to visit members of their student-run business The Corp. We spent all day Friday touring their divisions, discussing common issues and challenges that we face in our similar positions, as well as opportunities for future growth, and we even had

Re-Opening Old Doors and New Ones Too

2009-09-22T16:37:00.004-04:00

In May, as students packed up their belongings and said bye to UD for the summer, some FE divisions packed up as well. But as the doors to some divisions closed shop for the summer, FE executives and managers were still hard at work. After months of hard work and planning and even a little bit of rest, FE was anxious to reopen its doors to the returning UD students. Not only did FE reopen its

Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm a list-oholic.

2009-02-02T21:58:00.014-05:00

I love lists. I make lists for groceries I need to buy, books I want to read, movies I'd like to see, places I hope to go, and of course... things I need to do. The "To-Do" List is most definitely my favorite list. Between work and school, my TDLs more often take up notebook pages than post-it notes. But, no matter how long the list, nothing beats the satisfaction of crossing off an item - from a

What do you mean, 'student run'?

2009-01-23T17:59:00.006-05:00

Don't know much about Flyer Enterprises? I'd be happy to share.Flyer Enterprises is a student-run business at the University of Dayton. That means that all 166 of our employees, from the sales associates to the CEO, are undergraduate students. With seven different divisions and over $1.4 million in annual revenue, this makes Flyer Enterprises one of the top student-run businesses in the country (

Bringing Blogging Back...

2009-01-23T17:16:00.004-05:00

We at Flyer Enterprises are approaching the busiest time of the year... interviewing season! Signs of the season have already begun to appear: gCal invites indicating early mornings and late nights, folders full of resumes, boxes of chocolate-covered espresso beans and hangers of suits, making MH303 look more like a closet than an office.Naturally, this seems like a good time to add to my "to do

Introductions can be awkward.

2008-03-23T21:19:00.008-04:00

Hello, my name is Lauren. I'm your typical college Junior- I take too many pictures, I always end up cramming for exams, I'd rather run outside than watch TV, and I would really appreciate a few more hours in the day. I am addicted to my macbook, iPod, and all things Google.Oh yeah, I also run a $1.4 million company. More about that to come...Introductions can be awkward. I have mastered the
