Discrete Mathematical Modeling is used everywhere in business and sports these days so it's an exciting topic to teach and learn. This lecture will describe our approach to incorporating decision problems from nonprofit organizations, small businesses, and groups on campus into our classes through student projects. We have found that in addition to helping our community partners, our students are highly motivated by the material related to their projects. Specific examples and resources will be discussed.
