Developing and Managing Work Teams

Come up with something new that would be of benefit to the university's students, faculty, or staff. Then actually do it. That’s the assignment Dr. Susanne Scott (right) gives seniors in her management course on developing and managing work teams. So while students are learning skills they need for their careers, they're also providing something of value for the university. Not surprisingly, the projects usually are oriented to students. One class developed the UMD web site Beyond the Books page, which gives detailed information on services and products—from tanning salons, to area banks, to local golf courses and nightclubs. Another class produced a CD with advice on getting into grad school and landing a job. A current class is preparing a new virtual tour of UMD that will serve as a guide to the campus, while a second group is focusing on advice for prospective student entrepreneurs.

Gardens, Plants Collections and Campus Landscape Beautification Projects at the UMass Dartmouth Campus
