The idea for the iHub began with an Apple kiosk that was placed at Russell House nearly a decade ago, according to Bill Kirkland, executive director of economic engagement at USC. "As new interns come in, they'll get to experience how to work in a store, small projects like inventory management and other things like that, that they might not get at a retail job," Fowler said. Fowler worked at iHub as a for-credit internship for her Retail 495 class over the summer and helped build the store. Student interns, such as Fowler, are paid and work at the store as part of Retail 295 and 495 classes. The iHub is run out of the School of Retail, Hospitality and Management (HRSM). The academic discount gives USC community members $100 off MacBook Pros, Stensland said. The discount varies from product to product. Those affiliated with the university will receive an academic discount with a valid I.D., according to university spokesperson Jeff Stensland. The store offers Apple products in addition to services for those products.
