Senior year has finally come and gone. As I came into my senior capstone class, I was worried. I was working a full-time job with the Cincinnati Reds, while taking 16 credit hours, and maintaining my position as a Vice President for one of the largest student-led philanthropies in the country. In short – I was nervous. Our first class was spent discussing what expectations would be and what we could assume to spend the next 4 months doing. It was after our second class that my expectations and assumptions would change. I was paired with an incredible group of four guys. We were excited to be working together, and I already knew that with their help, I had nothing to be nervous about! After class, Dr. Pierce asked us to stay back and talk with him. Turns out, he had a different plan for our last few months of college. He told us he was doing something he had never done, and felt that it was something our group could take on. We met with the General Manager of Incrediplex in Indianapolis and discussed their front lobby. Incrediplex is a full-blown entertainment complex. With everything from laser tag and inflatables, to turf soccer fields and basketball courts, it’s every Facility and Operations Manager’s dream. But, Incrediplex had a problem and they looked to IUPUI students to help them solve it.
