Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship - Summer 2019
Be a member of CI&E's Steering Committee!
The Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship Student Steering Committee is an integral part of the success of our Center. We rely on our Committee to provide input and guidance on the direction of the Center, and students are the ones who take the lead on developing and executing key Center activities, to ensure that they are designed for students’ interests and needs.
Interested in becoming one of our six committee members for ’19/20? All students are eligible to apply. Members must have a passion for innovation and entrepreneurship and a commitment to lead a project, attend monthly committee meetings, participate in Center activities like hackathons, and schedule periodic project update meetings with the Center Director.
What’s in it for you? Committee members will have irreplaceable experiences as changemakers designing and leading innovations on campus and in the community, will learn the principles of design thinking, and will develop close relationships with innovation faculty, administrators, and other student leaders. Yes, this will look good on your resume, AND you will learn and grow in the role like never before.
