PROFIT
Preferred Research Option For Intensive Training
| PROFIT Methodology |
| Each department within the College of Business will determine which courses contain the appropriate methodologies for high caliber scholarly performance by undergraduate students. Departments participating will be Accounting, Business Administration, Management, and Marketing & Finance. Faculty members may nominate students based on course papers, presentations, demonstrations, etc., for presentation at the semi-annual PROFIT in Business seminar. Each participant will have his/her/their paper or presentation duplicated either in an Online Journal or a CD which includes the entire seminar presentations. |
| Presentation Details |
|
Every paper, presentation, or design program nominated by the individual faculty teaching the designated courses shall be presented at a PROFIT in Business seminar to be held in the fall and spring semesters.
The date chosen for presentation will be the last Thursday evening before finals week. The projects may be presented in any format which is possible at Southeastern Louisiana University. Presentations may include PowerPoint, poster display, group presentations, software displays, etc.
Each student should have a faculty sponsor-mentor who will support the student not only during the research phase, but also in preparation for the final presentation at the appropriate seminar. The Director of PROFIT will coordinate with faculty to assure that mentoring of student research is continuing to support the aims of this program.
The purpose for planning for both a fall and spring presentation is to accommodate those students who will be graduating at the end of the semester as well as those courses which are only offered every other semester. It is anticipated that not all identified courses will produce an outstanding undergraduate research paper or project each semester. The sole judge of excellence for nomination shall be the instructors teaching such courses.
Each nominated student that presents will receive a plaque from the College of Business for their distinguished research and presentation. |
