TBA	Live Well Collaborative Studios	TBA	TBA	TBA	N/A
Live Well Collaborative studios are open to juniors and seniors of all majors with an interest in creating product and service innovations for the 50+ age segment. Students work with faculty and corporations to conduct research and develop ideas within an interdisciplinary environment encompassing design, engineering, business, medicine, anthropology and social science. Projects have already been completed for P&G, General Mills, Hill-Rom and Citigroup. The project sponsor for summer is to be announced. Class sessions are not a standard classroom lecture format, but rather a time for company presentations, group work, and faculty/student collaboration. Work will also be completed outside of the class. Students will not have tests or individual assignments but will be graded on the contributions made on the final project deliverables to the company sponsor. Students can register for 3-6 hours of credit (depending on what fits into a student's schedule; most students register for 6). The number of special topics hours awarded is determined by the number of academic credits earned. Interested College of Business students should email a resume to Dr. Karen Machleit; all other students (DAAP, Engineering, Arts & Sciences, etc.) should contact Craig Vogel for more information (including course and call number, as well as the company and project focus).
