‘Managerial Accounting”" course and Alternatives, Inc.: Business Education, Community Benefits

Raritan Valley Community College - NJ, New Jersey
President: G. JEREMIAH RYAN

Four students enrolled in Managerial Accounting at Raritan Valley Community College turned their business skills towards a project that benefited the community in a lasting way. As a group effort, the College students researched, developed and implemented a business plan to help the community organization Alternatives, Inc. acquire a financial database management system to support its new 52 client-housing unit. The students learned that they have the potential to make a meaningful and lasting impact in the community while developing their leadership, teamwork and communication skills.
