Student Projects in the Business Community 
Applying course content in real world context      
      
Designed via collaboration between faculty and community partners, students are tasked with a project that utilizes course content into real world business scenarios. Local companies like to involve students in consultancy projects - it allows companies to develop new generation of leaders and to have their business problem solved. Likewise, College of Business Administration values industry engagement because it gives students an opportunity to hone their skills learned in a classroom and boosts corporate involvement on campus. Here are a few examples from Spring semester.

Students in Dr. Crissy Hinojosa's Information Systems Project Management course presented research findings on May 8 to CEO, Ed Martin of Bay Limited on the following systems: Document Management System, Payroll System, Timekeeping System, and Electronic Driver Logs. Kleberg Bank CFO, Brad Womack and his leadership team worked with students in Dr. Ruth Chatelain-Jardon's Consumer Behavior Marketing Class to conduct a study regarding consumer payment methods.  Students conducted a formal presentation to share their findings with the team on May 15.
