Students also develop a better understanding of the needs and opportunities of the world through a service-learning project. Students explore and evaluate a new business venture as part of an Innovation Showcase that culminates in a public, competitive presentation to a mock investment board and the Edgewood community. Students study, integrate, and apply key business concepts throughout the course, with a specific focus on the development of ethical, sustainable business practices.
