We are REALLY excited about this new partnership with UVU.
From the Daily Herald:
MBA students adopt Provo nonprofit
Graduate students enrolled in the first cohort of UVU's Master's of Business Administration program will be working hand-in-hand over the next year with local nonprofit Community Health Connect as part of the curriculum's community engagement capstone course.
Scott C. Hammond, a UVU professor of business management and a member of the MBA faculty, said when the Woodbury School of Business designed the MBA program, they wanted to incorporate a capstone seminar that would benefit the community with real-world student experience and civic engagement, key elements of UVU's core themes. After a lengthy selection process, the MBA students selected Community Health Connect, a small organization that helps low-income and uninsured individuals in need of specialized charity health care or dental care get the services they need.
Specifically, MBA students will help Community Health Connect devhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifelop and implement a new strategic plan, create and put into action a marketing plan designed to expand the number of doctors willing to provide service, and help the organization expand their use of technology to create greater efficiencies. Students will also research funding and grant opportunities for Community Health Connect and seek to improve its financial management processes.
