Students can get discounts and special offers at area businesses through the new Talon Ticket program, organized by IUP and the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce.
To take advantage of these offers, students should present their I-Cards during checkout at participating stores and restaurants.
Unveiled during Welcome Week in August, the program has 28 participating businesses in its pilot stage this semester. Organizers hope to have all Indiana County businesses as participants sometime next year.
The program is intended to help students get engaged with the greater community and local businesses and to help local businesses feel supported by the IUP community.
Creation of the Talon Ticket was led by the Office of Strategic Partnerships in the Division of University Advancement, the Eberly College of Business Student Marketing Association, and the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce.
