J-Term Class Renovates Boone Home Gift Shop
Lindenwood University students recently renovated the gift shop at the Historic Daniel Boone Home. The project was part of a “Special Topics in Retail Merchandising” course through which students earned three credit hours in under a two-week period.
Doug Cannon, Department Chair and Assistant Professor of Retail Merchandising, led the team of 10 participants through the modified January term-class. J-term classes typically take place from Jan. 4-22, but renovation of the Boone Home Gift Shop was expected to take only eight working days.
The team began on Monday, December 14, and had a deadline of being finished before Christmas Eve. Cannon said, “It was a small window and hectic to say the least, but it was fun for the students and a great opportunity to expose them to some practical applications with regards to retail merchandising.”
The class was successful in meeting its deadline and the class completely removed the contents of the entire building. The students painted and sealed the shop, as well as renovated the building’s restrooms. They also brought in new merchandise and displays.
“This was an ideal situation for the students to apply their background, education, and experience,” said Cannon. “We successfully upgraded the facility and made it something the students and Boone Home staff can take pride in, and that visitors can enjoy.”
