Extensive interaction occurs between the sponsors and the students.
In the past year, sponsors have presented over 20 classroom lectures, and offered a similar number of field projects for students in advanced levels. Sponsors can submit semester-long projects to teams of graduate students, who address the real issues facing corporations. The entire class and professor provide input with both oral and written reports. Class grade is determined by effort, substance, and quality of the report. Sponsor executives or their representatives have the opportunity to make class presentations on their corporate HR programs and issues, thus gaining extensive exposure to students they may want to recruit.
