Alumni & Students Match Up Online For Student Projects

Helping match students with projects is easy, and the process can be initiated online.

As most alumni fondly remember, many Haas courses have a project requirement. Typically these projects are tackled in teams of three-to-five students and consume from 75 to hundreds of hours, depending upon the nature of the project, the size of the team, and the significance of the project in the course grading structure.

Now alumni and organizations can go directly to the School's website to list their projects. Students then review the listings to choose a project to volunteer their classroom knowledge and skills.

"To provide our students with good options, we're looking for projects in all areas of business and management - finance, management, marketing, operations, strategy, etc., - and in all types of organizations - large corporations, small businesses, new ventures, nonprofit organizations, etc.," said Dan Sullivan, MBA Program Office.

Sullivan noted that the site and its projects are available to students in all degree programs. Students can search - and organizations can enter - projects by industry, project area, and geographic preference.

To list a project for student consideration, go to their website.
