Expected outcomes and deliverables

Students will work in small groups, and each group will be expected to submit a written deliverable (the nature of which will depend on the selected project; e.g., a set of survey questions). The goal of the project is for students to see firsthand how their research skills and knowledge can be applied outside of academia. While they will work in groups on their project/deliverables, individually they will write and submit a reflection on what they learned while working on the organization-partnered project.
