Description : Students will enhance their essential professional skills for personal and team success through investigating issues in a global context. Explore in-demand professional aptitudes (self-awareness, emotional intelligence, teamwork, communication, and workplace interaction expectations). Through industry/community interaction, explore cultural and business norms and the application of broader perspectives to identify issues/solutions responsive and adaptive to their global context. This semester, students are partnering with Canopy South. Over the course of the semester, students explored this history of South Omaha and the mission of Canopy South. The students visited Canopy South’s office and spoke directly with staff and visit a variety of sites that Canopy South has an interest in revitalizing. Students decided to focus on Upland Park; they worked closely as a team to develop a proposal and presentation for their professor (Dr. Stu Bernstein), Canopy South staff (Juan Padilla), SLA staff, and College of Engineering advisors.
