We know that students love to read textbooks, but it is still nice for an instructor to find another way to drive home key management concepts like empathy, justice, motivation, decision-making, collaboration, emotions, etc. This past year I used the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Challenge in a series of leadership classes to help students understand empathy and justice. The results, though, proved that there were a lot of other management concepts wrapped up in the experience. This discussion-based session will share the SNAP exercise, student blog and video feedback, and how to facilitate this experience in your classroom.
