Olin Board Fellows Practicum

1.5 units

This course continues the opportunity to serve as a voting board member of a nonprofit United Way organization. Students serve the community while gaining experience applying business acumen to the mission and governance of nonprofit organizations. As Board Fellows, students develop skills in community leadership, governance, and communication as they address nonprofit sector issues, collaborate with fellow board members, and contribute to initiatives aligned with the board’s priorities. This is the second half of a year-long commitment. Grading is done after the completion of the course in December and will be applied retroactively to the Spring semester.
