Project Research

The first assignment in my publications class is a business card for an organization of my choice. I chose the organization that I am interning with this summer–the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. For this assignment and the letter head assignment that follows, I will be focusing on the Student Board of Directors program.

This program promotes teamwork and the inclusion of secondary education students from diverse backgrounds. The core value of the program lies in giving students the opportunity to gain financial responsibility and collaborate with their peers as well as business and community leaders.

As Student Board members in the Oklahoma City Branch of the Kansas City Fed, students act as liaisons between the Kansas City Fed and their school districts.

Although this type of program does not have competitors, other threats could arise. The students serve as representatives of the Federal Reserve and as such should present themselves in a professional manner. The program gives students a chance to experience real-world business practices, giving the program and a hopeful and encouraging attitude.
