Coasting is part of the Integrated Business Experience that provides hands-on experience that helps prepare all of the business students for their future. This semester we will create and manage two different projects, a start-up company where we will create, market, and sell a single product. Our product will be a high quality cork coaster with two creative designs that will make the pack of four
coasters. We will also be allowed to have hands-on community service project to make an impact on a local charity. Our charity is the Warrensburg Animal Shelter who offers animals of all kinds a safe place, as a no kill shelter, until they find their forever home. Since 2004 IBE students at UCM have made $440,000 from products, $240,000 in donations, and volunteered 17,000 hours to help local nonprofits.
