Academic Service-Learning Project Name: Owl's Nest Coffee Shop

Academic Service-Learning Project Description:

Students of an entrepreneurship class at William Woods University were given a unique opportunity during the fall 2007 semester–design a campus coffee shop. Throughout the semester, the students acted as entrepreneurs starting a business. They compiled research from students and faculty, developed a marketing plan, created a financial plan based on their budget, chose products and services for their coffee shop, and picked a name. Students looked at three possible locations for the coffee shop: McNutt Campus Center, the commuter lounge in Burton Business Building, and the lower level of Tucker Dining Hall, in a room formerly known as Woody’s. When they were finished with their business plans they presented the plans to campus administrators.
