This Project is due as noted with the course schedule.

Submit the project early to avoid all emergencies. 

Note:  Spelling and grammar are critical and five points will be deducted for each error, i.e. carefully proofread your assignment prior to submission.

Note:  The sample projects are attached as benchmarks for this project.

Option A:  Research a HR issue that is currently in Congress at the Federal level and prepare a two page, formal letter (typed, single spaced, Times 12-font, with one inch margins) addressed to your Congress-person; based on your research and the position that you are going to argue for.

The spelling, grammar, and proper citations should be of an: “A” paper quality (5-points will be deducted for each misspelled word, grammar error, etc.).

Purpose: a copy of this letter must be sent to your state’s Senator or House Representative.

Note: The letter does not begin with “I have to write this letter as an assignment for my Professor…”  

Option B:  Schedule a company visit with a HR Manager, Director, or Vice President (the individual you are visiting must have HR in his/her title).  The visit must be on-site with the HR person at his or her company (a picture with the HR person and his/her business card is required/mandatory; i.e. no picture and/or no card = zero points), it must include a complete company tour, and you are required to prepare a detailed summary (cover page, introduction, all questions asked, all answers, and final comments) of your visit.

The Professor must approve this visit before it can be completed.

The spelling, grammar, and proper citations should be of an: “A” paper quality (5-points will be deducted for each misspelled word, grammar error, etc.).
