Abstract

This project integrates service learning for on-campus university students and encourages at-risk high school students to think about careers and the possibility of attending college to achieve their career goals. The purpose is to expose high school students to career opportunities in merchandising with special emphasis on cultural awareness and sensitivity. In order for students to survive and thrive in the new global environment, they must be prepared with knowledge that will assist them to interact within a culturally diverse work force.
