This course teaches students about leadership and management in
organizations. Class sessions are stimulating with many guest
speakers from the nonprofit community; sessions with community
leaders feature student networking and receptions. Students apply
their learning in projects they complete for local nonprofit
organizations during the summer. The skills students acquire in
class- managing human resources, promoting and marketing,
creating organizational mission and vision statements, etc. - are
highly useful and transferable regardless of whether you decide to
work in business, government, or a non profit. The course concludes with a Student Project Poster session attended by members
of the nonprofit and university communities.
