Academic Program Engagement Formats

I appreciate all your help and the help of the CapSource team.  That single web page for the project is terrific — the materials, timeline, links, surveys, recordings, etc. — all in one place makes it easy for me as an Instructor and easy for the students.  Please communicate my thanks.

You did a masterful job of going from the big picture on adidas’ 3 strategic pillars through to your product innovations, digital strategies, influencer partnerships and grassroots efforts. I think the students have a far better sense of how challenging and exciting your work is and I know we’ll have great ideas for this project based on the time you provided today.

I never used to have a summer as it was spent sourcing companies for projects and sorting out all the details in Excel. This platform has given me an environment to do everything I used to do manually. It has truly been a blessing!

To Melissa and the whole team at Centric Brands, thank you for your generosity, time, effort and letting us into your space! Thank you for believing us and the students, and giving us such an incredible responsibility of working on the HERVE brand launch. This was real life – not just a made up project. The students truly gave it their all to deliver the best results to your team! 

The student work on the Centric Brands HERVE project was tremendous. This was a real challenge, with a real brand. The students had a chance to apply what they’re learning in the classroom to something that was completely real-world and relevant.

I just want to thank Jordan and the CapSource team, Phyllis and IACBE, and the team Ronald McDonald House at Jacksonville for giving our students an opportunity to participate in experiential learning opportunity, and to provide feedback about how to take the classroom to a real-world issue and context.  On behalf of Excelsior College, very appreciative of your time, expertise, and leadership.  Beyond that, this provided a chance for our online students to engage with one another and with our instructional faculty in a different way.  Very, very appreciative.  Great learning opportunity!  Great job by Ever Upward team too.

“One of the main priorities for the SUNY Potsdam Lougheed Applied Learning Center is make experiential learning accessible for all our students and faculty. Adopting the CapSource CONNECT system has enabled us to better manage our growing network of industry partners so that we that we can more effectively coordinate and track projects across all three of our colleges.”

Experiential learning is especially critical for business programs since blending theory and practice allows the students to build their confidence as they prepare for their professional careers. CapSource provides us with access to companies we would otherwise not be able to work with. They make it easy to identify the right organizations for every course given the overall structure, desired rigor, and teaching objectives.

I first learned of CapSource when one my colleagues highly recommended them. They have been incredible collaborators when Ramapo College hosted groups of business students (both graduate and undergraduate) from overseas universities. He masterfully crafted a panel of entrepreneurs, start-up experts and companies from his expansive network. The international students gained insights into the business environment in the metro-NYC area, as well as sharing ideas, posing critical questions and brainstorming solutions within this inter-cultural group of individuals. Ramapo College will continue to work with Jordan and CapSource and highly recommend any higher education institution to collaborate with them as well.
