"Working with real data and real problems and real people creates a classroom environment akin to the workplace. It’s hard to gather information in the real world, college shouldn’t feel any different. Exposure to real world problems elucidates the local context of global challenges and charges students with creative problem solving, team work, and leadership."
- Professor Eric Boggs, Lundquist College of Business
Syllabi and Other Materials
"The partnership enriched students’ experience in my classes by supplying an authentic context, audience, and stakes for their work. In class discussions and on student experience surveys, they reported feeling engaged with and connected to the project because it had relevance beyond the university."
