five fountains provides Butler University students with immediate and sustainable real-world, hands-on experience working for real clients. Within a professional student-run agency, five fountains, students learn about business processes and protocols, while applying the ROPE model to build, execute, and evaluate effective strategic communication campaigns.
Whether students like to create, write, organize, lead, or build relationships, there's something for everyone to build confidence – and their portfolio. Students meet as a full agency and in assigned client project teams, while completing assignments independently yet collaboratively. It's real-life resume building on campus.
