Abstract

In December 2019, a team of business faculty members (led by Dr. Xiangrong Liu, Dr. Yihong Xiao, Dr. Kathleen Ferris and Dr. Karen Hamilton) in the Ricciardi College of Business (RCOB, led by Dr. Jeanean Davis-Street), in partnership with BSU’s Career Services Office (led by Mr. John Paganelli), developed a new initiative that aimed to bring realworld business problems directly into the classroom through the utilization of client-based projects, thereby allowing the business college to emphasize key learning outcomes such as: acquisition of business knowledge; critical thinking/quantitative reasoning skills; professional communication; and teamwork/ leadership abilities.
