Team Projects Team projects are the cornerstone of the Convergence Center. Team projects are enhanced internships for graduate students in information management-related fields. Business partners bring IT management projects or research to the School, and with support from an experienced faculty member a team of students put their skill and expertise to work for the business.
Students solve challenging, substantive problems that complement their classroom learning.
Benefits For companies, the team project provides an infusion of new thinking and creative problem solving. It provides a virtually risk-free introduction to future managers and potential employees. Businesses gain direct exposure and real experience with the most promising recruiting prospects coming out of the School of Information Studies. The team projects provide an ideal opportunity to evaluate and identify future management and technical talent from a pool of qualified, focused students. For a modest cost, there is a high potential payback.
