ACM-631 Behavioral Simulation

1 Credits

The Northwood Arts Center (NAC) simulation recreates a typical day in a nonprofit arts organization. Acting as senior management of the NAC, students will address a variety of issues such as artistic programming, board relations and development, capital improvements, outreach through education and community relations. The Crandall Museum, the New Horizons Theater and the NAC all offer support for the services and staff. Participants manage the NAC as they see fit for half a day. The remainder of the day is devoted to feedback on participants’ managerial styles and effectiveness as leaders, exploring how they incorporated skills and knowledge acquired in coursework prior to the run of the simulation.
