Step 3 of 6: Project Information

Since students are serving as consultants to your organization, your project should allow for student decision-making and ownership in collaboration with your needs and organizational insight. Projects should not be to implement an event or program, but to develop strategies and resources that will address a challenge within your organization.

You are encouraged to submit more than one proposal to provide the student team a choice which may meet their interests and expertise. However, only do so if you are willing to let the team collaborate with the Contact Person in selecting the project.

We hold classes in a Fall term (Sept-Dec) and a Spring term (Jan-Apr). Select your preferred project semester: *

The Service Leadership class, known as BA598, is a required course taken by undergraduate business administration majors in accounting, business, and international business. The course is designed to blend academic study with community service.

In this course the students form consulting teams to serve non-profit organizations by applying business concepts and skills to mutually agreed-upon projects. In this approach, all parties in the arrangement are seen as learners and teachers as well as servers and served.
