Project Examples

Each year for more than a decade, students have created and implemented an off-campus program for Culture Days. The class is a mix of music, drama, fine arts, and business students.

In teams of 3, student-consultants will spend 90 hours analyzing your potential for developing your audience and connecting with your community. The student team will work towards creating strategies that will seek to answer one or more of your marketing-related questions.

Projects may include, but are not limited to:

  • How should we go about fundraising for a special project?
  • How can we create a total aesthetic experience?
  • How should we promote our programs?
  • How can we connect more closely with our community?
  • Is there opportunity to scale our prices?

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.

Be available for a 30-minute phone/Zoom/MS Teams call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
