Pictured are the Wright State University Lake Campus Organizational Leadership (OL) Capstone team members who made a recent Hazard Analysis presentation to the Mercer County Emergency Management Agency.
With input from the EMA’s newly formed Mitigation Team, the group identified almost two dozen potential emergency situations, then researched the project, and presented its findings in response to a request from EMA Director Karl Kaiser and Mitigation Team. The analysis will be used for the upcoming mitigation plan being formulated by the agency in response to federal guidelines requiring a county mitigation plan to be in place.
Organizational leadership students are required to complete a capstone project as a final requisite of the Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership degree program. These projects are a culmination of a year’s worth of work in which the students learn the skills necessary to apply classroom material to solve an actual administrative problem within a local organization.
Dr. Mindy McNutt, assistant professor at the campus, is coordinator of the Organizational Leadership program.
