| HONE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS: The client project will require thorough understanding of the client’s problem as well as the opportunity to analyze pertinent data and formulate recommendations. |
| ENGAGE IN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION: Effective communication is fundamental to success. This course practices both written and oral plus individual and team communication. |
| UNDERSTAND DIVERSITY, EQUITY and SOCIAL JUSTICE: Students will explore and analyze identity, power relationships and social justice in historical contexts and contemporary settings from multiple perspectives. Students will apply this approach to better understand how these elements can impact the success or failure or a client’s business/organization. Recommendations will be framed within the context of this learning objective. |

Use at least one example from the current business issue to demonstrate your understanding of the concept. Make sure to use appropriate citations.

Fourth section: Apply one of the UNST Business Goals to your client* & business: Diversity, Equity & Social Justice OR Ethics, Agency, & Community in that write-up & discuss how it does or doesn’t apply to your client. You must use an example to illustrate the UNST Goal.
Fifth section: Summarize your essay and link your concept, examples and UNST goal together.
Last Section: Finally, cite the news source for the current business issue
Examples: There are examples of student’s previous write-ups in your Canvas course shell. These should be used for inspiration- not an example of a “perfect” paper.
*NOTE: You can use another business instead of your client if this fits better with your concept you choose.
