Students from the College of Business’ Integrated Business Program (IBP) successfully completed and celebrated their fall semester accomplishments. Six teams each made impactful donations to their chosen charities while learning how to lead and manage their real-life businesses. Each student took on unique leadership roles to help build their business and sell their products during the semester through online, campus, and community events. Each business collectively generated $18,903.22 in total sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

For 16 weeks, students built strategic business skills together to achieve their sales goals. Through classroom instructional theory and real-world practice, students built their business tool-kits as they expanded their sales acumen, inventory management skills, team communications, and more.<\/p>\n

The teams celebrated their business accomplishments at an end-of-the-semester charity banquet, where each group shared about their experiences in the program and their business summaries. Then, the students invited a representative from their respective charities to the stage and presented them with a check with their hard-earned profits.<\/p>\n

The team’s names, charities, earnings, and products are as follows:<\/p>\n
