In addition
to contact information, other information provided for each program or
course includes:

|
Target Market: Programs are
aimed at different types of organizations or at different functions within
an organization. For example, the target market may be organizations
with multiple computer workstations, since the project involves analysis
of a computer network. |
|
| |
|
Services Provided: This
description permits the nonprofit to understand exactly what is being
offered and the expected input from the organization. |

|
Primary Type of Student:
Student abilities vary significantly by year in school. In addition, a
class that is comprises of majors in that subject is usually more
productive than a general education class or class taken by a variety of
majors. Thus, more can be expected of a group of senior marketing majors
than freshman who often have yet to determine their option. |

When to Apply for Assistance:
This is VERY important. The University semester system often does not
coincide with the resource needs of nonprofits. However, since many of
the projects and classes are fixed in time, it is necessary to provide
instructors and program directors ample time to make the necessary
arrangements for service. While some exceptions can be made, the dates
provided in this guide should be adhered to, if possible. |
|
While every effort has been made to provide
the detail necessary for organizations to make an informed decision,
individual instructors and programs can vary. Forms or surveys that need
to be completed as well as other specifics should be discussed when the
projects are set up. It has been our experience that the greater the
communication between the faculty and nonprofit representatives, the
better the experience for everyone involved.
