Financial regulation or reform in the United States
Write a short essay or journalistic article that could appear in the “op-ed” or business section of a local newspaper. For example, you could write a persuasive op-ed piece for the Chicago Tribune or The Times of Northwest Indiana on some aspect of economic policy or social/cultural interaction (i.e., the need for financial regulation or reform in the United States, technology’s impact on education or finance, the local objectives of healthcare or mental healthcare policy, some issue in professional development or ethics in your own field, etc.). Similarly, you could rethink the piece as more of a journalistic feature for Crain’s Chicago Business that examines some specifically local economic or commercial issue (i.e., the role of a public university like IUN in the region, issues impacting Northwest Indiana’s economic development, a particular local company’s financial situation, etc.).
