Collaborating with partners on and off campus to help students, alumni, and community members realize their visions of the future.
The Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship's mission is to:
- develop experiential learning opportunities to complement and expand traditional academic offerings and engage students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members while building and growing new ventures and organizations;
- drive the growth of the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem;
- work with a diverse set of collaborators, both on campus and off, in our mission to help our students, alumni, and community members realize their visions of the future.
In addition to the three core elements of our mission, the Center has identified two high growth, innovation-led areas of the economy to focus on: the business of well-being and the food and beverage industry.
Both areas of the market are undergoing rapid change and are full of opportunity. Student and alumni interest, regional importance and growth, accessibility, and the possibility for measurable impact are among the reasons these important social and economic sectors were chosen for programming, research, and regional engagement.
