Christa Kiersch

Christa Kiersch, Management, designed a partnership project with Great Rivers United Way for "The Applied HRM Service-Learning Externship". Christa began a partnership project with Great Rivers United Way in Fall 2018, which led to a course-embedded applied research project in Spring 2019 in which students worked with area nonprofits to better understand and research solutions for their most pressing HR-related challenges. With support from the UWL Margins of Excellence Initiative, a team of 5 students continued the project in Summer 2019, Fall 2019, and Spring 2020 to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment and ultimately create an evidence-based, online 'HR Toolkit' for the nonprofit organizations affiliated with Great Rivers United Way.
