Last year’s sales figures of $22,000 were significant enough to earn Muhlenberg the honor of being the top-earning school in the country, beating out the University of Michigan.
           
Students in the Marketing in Not-For-Profit Organizations classes, taught by Professor Gail Eisenberg, coordinate, plan and execute the event annually.
           
Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit organization that provides vital, fair income to third world artisans by providing markets in North America through which these artisans can sell their handmade, quality products.
