Abstract
"Let knowledge serve the city" serves not only as Portland State University's motto but also as the guiding intent of the Business Administration capstone program to assist local companies in the city of Portland. This review covers the experience of my participation in the program including the use of education and challenges. While the experience recorded within is atypical due to the unforeseen closure of the participating client, effective communication studies with clients and other students remain pressing. This entailed examining the quantitative and qualitative needs of a hybrid coffee shop and event space and whether changing to a larger location would serve the business better. The results of this experience had me come away with an appreciation of how the business programs at Portland State prepared me, especially regarding strong communication skills, the value of proper staffing, and research. The main takeaway from the capstone is valuing the tools obtained at Portland State University to be applied to further work efforts.
