Immersive Learning
The College of Business and Technology implements immersive learning principles that include community-based projects guided by faculty mentors; we believe that effective learning occurs when the student experiences the application of classroom material to actual business problems. A sampling of these opportunities are showcased here.

Dr. Mike Landry Four Types of Immersive Learning Projects in MKT 3253:
Letter from client aided by Promotional Strategy students in class project: Mr. Landry I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and offer my gratitude for the six weeks of time and effort that your Promotional Strategies students have provided towards the May 15th grand opening of the Help In Crisis resale store, ENCORE. These past weeks have been a whirlwind of activities directed at the tearing out and remodeling of the old District Attorney's office at 109 N. College. I have met weekly with Maggie Bolt, Shayna Baine, Sarah Bayless, and Blake Andrews to strategize the publicity, advertising, communication, and sources that would best suit our grand opening, and each of the student participants have tracked leads, solicited information, offered helpful suggestions, and took ownership of their own tasks. The suggestions and recommendations will be presented to our Executive Director for her approval, after which, I will finalize each aspect of the newspaper, radio, billboard, and circular promotions. I have invited each of the students to our grand opening, and I am extending the same offer to you. We are striving to make the ENCORE Resale store a more unique experience than typically belies a donation outlet, and the cooperative efforts of your students, as well as volunteers, and concerned participants will help us realize that goal. Sincerely, Bruce Borremans Manager, Resale Help In Crisis
