When thinking about which First-Year Project (FYP) you might want to choose, consider the option of self-sourcing! Two of our team members sourced the project with the Crim. Self-sourcing allowed us to select our project and assemble a uniquely suited team; our group of five classmates brings diverse functional and industry experience in #education, #consulting, #internationaldevelopment, #engineering, and #tech.
.

Through our FYP, we wanted to gain real-world exposure to how private and public sector organizations can unite to amplify the positive impact they can have on their local community. Despite not having personal connections to #Flint, we hoped that our project might lend support to a city that’s suffered both economic and public health crises and enable us to learn from their successes in responding and recovering.
.

In the fall, two of our team members, Mo and Claire, connected with a former Flint mayor, who suggested crimfitnessfoundation would be a perfect client given its reach and reputation in the Flint community. We were introduced to Gerry and pitched the idea of supporting the Crim’s mindfulness initiative—luckily for us, he accepted!
