BU 117 - Organizational Problem Solving

This course will engage each student in developing professional skills, working with a team, and providing research and ideas of real value to a company or organization. Each of the sections will partner with a different client, receive a challenge or challenges from that client, conduct research and work to develop solutions, culminating in a public presentation to the client. Along the way, students will learn resume writing, interview skills, research techniques, business etiquette, and presentation skills. Each section has a maximum number of students, so students will indicate their first, second, and third choices of site options of the Vermont-based companies and non-profits, prior to the beginning of the summer program.
