Business Citizenship and Service-Learning


Dr. Joseph A. Petrick, Director of the Institute for Business Integrity, (far right in photo) piloted the first undergraduate course at the college that embedded a formal service-learning project in the course, Management 470: Business Integrity Capacity.

The experience was designed to enhance classroom learning by providing services to meet  community needs and to strengthen business citizenship competencies.

The class and Dr. Petrick participated in the state and national Make a Difference Day by contributing to the honeysuckle removal project at Taylorsville MetroPark in the greater Dayton community. Dr. Petrick states, “Business service-learning projects enable future business leaders to develop good community citizenship habits that make a positive difference in the lives of the people around them and create a more supportive environment for business.” Mr. Charles Shoemaker, Executive Director of Five Rivers MetroParks, and his volunteer coordinator, Mr. Robert Butts both expressed appreciation to Dr. Petrick, his students, and the Raj Soin College of Business for their socially responsible business education contributions.
