Bauer Connect Projects: Connecting Bauer to Business

Bauer Connect (formerly Sponsored) projects are group research projects that culminate in a final deliverable, usually a PowerPoint presentation. Sponsors choose a project topic relevant to their company and on which they would like to have some research done and hear a new perspective from the next generation of business professionals. Please note that there is no cost to the organization to participate in Bauer Connect Projects.

All project descriptions are submitted prior to the start of the semester. Students select a project that matches their interests and sign up the second week of class. Groups meet with their organization contact for a kick-off meeting, either at the host organization’s office, on campus, or virtually.  One student is the designated communicator and sends the organization contact updates and questions as necessary.

Projects conclude eight weeks later on a due date set by the course instructor.  All groups are required to make a presentation to their host organization, either in-person or virtually. The host organization provides a project grade by filling out a simple grading rubric.
