MSMI students work with Vagaro

Vagaro — a cloud-based scheduling software company that provides business management services to small businesses — collaborated with the MSMI program for their annual research studies. Led by Kiran Kaur, Vagaro’s Market Research Specialist and a USF MSMI alum, the students gave presentations on the mental health therapy, tattoo, and martial arts industries and how Vagaro might be able to align with them more closely.
