Center for Strategic Planning for Not-for-Profit Organizations
The Center for Strategic Planning for Not- For-Profit Organizations was established by Sacred Heart University within the Jack Welch College of Business to provide business assistance to qualified groups.
Through the application of skills developed during their studies, teams of MBA students, under the guidance of an experienced advisor, address strategic issues central to the client’s longer-term viability and effectiveness. In doing so, students provide a valuable service while being exposed to “realities of life” that transcend the formal academic environment.
It is the mission of the Center to engender in the University’s MBA students a sense of community and an appreciation for those less fortunate by providing students with a unique opportunity to donate their talents in the service of others. Functioning as teams, students will assist not-for-profit organizations with the development and implementation of strategic, business, and marketing plans necessary to meet their goals and objectives. In doing so, students will apply the skills learned in the SHU MBA program in a cooperative effort carried out in the spirit of the Catholic intellectual tradition to produce an outcome worthy of a grade.
The mission of the Center is directly aligned with, and in support of, key elements of the mission of Sacred Heart University and the Jack Welch College of Business. For further information, call 203-371-7853.
