Calling All Business Owners: Fuel Creative Innovation with Us! At Allegheny College, we're shaping the next generation of photographers who are passionate about using their creative lens to drive change and make an impact. Our Photography course goes beyond the art of capturing moments; it's about empowering students to explore the role and potential of the photographic medium in today's society. Learners in this program/experience can create content for print and online mediums, take impactful photographs, as well as use effective layout design principles. Additionally, students are capable of crafting compelling stories on a variety of topics, adjusting photos and laying out content using industry-standard software. We're seeking business owners who are as passionate about collaboration as we are. Your ideal project should have a clear business problem statement. Projects can range from research-focused to task-focused or even a blend of both. We appreciate partners who are open to negotiating project scope, ensuring it's a win-win for all involved.

Business Management Skills in Practice
MGMT 225
This project is for students on the Bronx campus of Mercy University. This experience focuses on equipping learners with the essential management skills required to thrive in both local and global markets. Participants will gain insights into environmental awareness, group dynamics, and organizational skills, applying sound management principles to real-world scenarios. Learners will be able to define management functions, understand ethical behavior, and discuss strategies for addressing environmental issues. They will also analyze managerial theories and assess organizational efforts, preparing them to tackle industry-relevant projects.
Digital Video Collaboration
ART 250
My Digital Video students are capable of storyboarding, pitching, shooting and editing video using standard DSLR cameras and sync-sound recording to help in the formation of thematic short films and social media campaigns. They will also have some experience at this point in the semester with simple graphics overlays and transitions, though this should not be main emphasis of the work (explainer or whiteboard videos not a fit).
