The course couples organizational behavior research with experiential learning to help students better understand how to work in teams, lead, and manage their careers.
For this project, teams of students worked closely with non-profit organizations in the Winchester, Virginia area. In continuation of the initiative started by a team from the fall semester, the first team that worked on Choose Civility last semester met with Dr. Fitzsimmons and had produced a video using staff, students and professors at SU to tell what civility meant to each of them, in addition to research on the organization Choose Civility in other areas.
At the end of the semester, each team presented to the class a presentation regarding the organization they collaborated with, fundraising ideas, stratagem invoked by the project, and obstacles they faced along the way.

Simon Duffy gave this presentation at the final conference of the UNIC Project, in Brussels in September 2023, providing an overview of personal budgets and the challenges ahead.
Sabrina Espeleta of War on Want outlines the enormous and growing level of world hunger. She explains how a few global corporations control the vast majority of food production and supply and markets exploit the food market, leaving communities, especially in the Global South at great disadvantage. Local peasant farmers are now organising to achieve food sovereignty, seeking to farm in ways in harmony with nature and to meet local needs. The Global North needs to respect the rights and autonomy of these people rather than to continue the pattern of exploitation.
This presentation was given on 6 July in Part 4 of a webinar series on grassroots policies for farming, food and wildlife.

Simon Duffy was asked by the Mayor’s Greater Manchester Charity and UBI Lab Manchester to talk at a recent roundtable event on the relevance of Universal Basic Income (UBI) to the problem of homelessness.
These are the slides from that talk. In summary Duffy argued that UBI is relevant to reducing homelessness in two slightly different ways:
1. UBI would help prevent homelessness - UBI addresses the inequalities in income and housing that create the risk of homelessness.
2. UBI would help people escape homelessness - UBI gives people a vital tool which significantly helps people change their situation in times of crisis.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
