In the service learning unit of the Chambers College's on-campus MBA program, students design, plan and execute a project to benefit a local nonprofit or small business of their choosing. This year’s projects netted big results:
Nearly $13.5k raised and donated to local organizations
Over 100 items collected and donated to local organizations
7 local nonprofits served (including Monongalia County Child Advocacy Center, Mountaineers for Mutts, Pantry Plus More and WVU Children’s Hospital)
10 winter shelters for stray cats constructed and placed
One new product developed (Mountaineer Baby Bootie Kits)
“These projects are a great opportunity for our students to learn by doing – and make a positive impact at the same time,” said MBA Program Director Dan Shahar. “With just two months to go from concept to completion, these groups had the deck stacked against them. The results they were able to achieve are a testament to their resourcefulness and determination.”
