Welcome to #wlucsr 2017

Eight students. Two projects. Four weeks. Far more questions than answers (at least for the time being).

That is the 2017 version of BUS 391 in a nutshell. The students, sophomores and juniors, will be working in four-person groups, each group asigned to one of the two projects. The first group will be working with one of the municipalities in the greater Copenhagen area. The other will be working for a multinational medical device manufacturer. Both projects will involve substantive sustainability initiatives of the two clients.

This blog is a space for these students to reflect on their work, their broader experiences in Copenhagen, and the many questions and observations that will arise over the next four weeks. If the past iterations of this course and the associated blogs are any indicator, the growth and confidence the posts will exhibit in week four will be well beyond posts made by the same students in week one.

So, off we go . . .
