MGMT 350 - Scholars Community Project
MGMT 350, Scholars Community Project, is a required course usually taken during junior year. The purpose of this course is to further enhance project management skills through the process of creating, planning and executing an idea. Scholars are divided into teams to develop a project meant to benefit the PwC Scholars program, the School of Management, Binghamton University, or the Binghamton community. The course includes in-class discussions and independent assignments. The groups will be expected to give progress reports and meet deadlines they set for themselves. At the end of the course, each team will give a presentation summarizing their progress and their overall takeaways. Past projects include:
- Improving an existing program or event
- Developing a mission statement
- Revamping an existing course
- Assisting admissions in reaching out to high school students interested in SOM
- Helping a local organization with a specific project
