This year, the priority is the Scott College of Business Dean's Innovation Fund [1]
Scott College of Business Dean's Innovation Fund
The Dean’s Innovation Fund [1] serves as a catalyst for driving innovation, student empowerment, and hands-on learning. Innovation means supporting new curricula, projects, unique opportunities, and having an “entrepreneurial mindset” for investing in the future of the college.
The fund serves to enhance the student experience in the college through fostering a sense of connection and community among students, alumni, and industry partners. Mentoring pairs students with peers and experienced professionals who share their wisdom and experience to encourage growth through an open and supportive environment. Experiential learning and professional development provides industry engagement and career readiness programming designed to build leadership, communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and global fluency among students. Examples include internships, competitions, conferences, networking events, industry speakers, student organizations, etc., among numerous others.
