Founded as the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, Berea admits only academically promising students, who have limited economic resources, especially students from Appalachia. All students at Berea work at least 10 hours per week in more than 130 departments and organizations on and off campus.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Entrepreneurship at Berea College has manifested itself in different academic and labor activities on campus such as the General Studies Program, Service-Learning Program, Active-Learning Experience. Most distinctively, the Entrepreneurship for the Public Good (EPG) Program has been the leading department in educating students about entrepreneurship.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 35px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Academics</span></span> =<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 19px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Technology and Applied Design Program</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Technology and Applied Design Program provide students with a broad professional and liberal-arts education, which prepares them for entrance into careers or into graduate schools.

We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8 week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset.

The EPG teaching approach is expressed in the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership. That cycle centers on six core learning goals of the program: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating change. Through this program, Berea College is able to select 20 students to participate in an 8 week summer institute based in Central Appalachia working to create a more sustainable economy for future generations. This is done in a variety of ways, one of the most recent is by utilizing social media marketing skills to help small businesses reach a larger consumer base. Another way is through the travel and tourism industry.

Founded as the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, Berea admits only academically promising students, who have limited economic resources, especially students from Appalachia. All students at Berea work at least 10 hours per week in more than 130 departments and organizations on and off campus.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Entrepreneurship at Berea College has manifested itself in different academic and labor activities on campus such as the General Studies Program, Service-Learning Program, Active-Learning Experience.

We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8 week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is.

The EPG teaching approach is expressed in the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership. That cycle centers on six core learning goals of the program: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating change. Through this program, Berea College is able to select 20 students to participate in an 8 week summer institute based in Central Appalachia working to create a more sustainable economy for future generations. This is done in a variety of ways, one of the most recent is by utilizing social media marketing skills to help small businesses reach a larger consumer base. Another way is through the travel and tourism industry.

Founded as the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, Berea admits only academically promising students, who have limited economic resources, especially students from Appalachia. All students at Berea work at least 10 hours per week in more than 130 departments and organizations on and off campus.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Entrepreneurship at Berea College has manifested itself in different academic and labor activities on campus such as the General Studies Program, Service-Learning Program, Active-Learning Experience. Most distinctively, the Entrepreneurship for the Public Good (EPG) Program has been the leading department in educating students about entrepreneurship.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 35px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Academics</span></span> =<br /> <br /> ==== <span><span style="font-size: 35px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Cultural Shift</span></span> ====<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span>In the circle of academics, faculty often find themselves repeating what they have done and are comfortable with - highly academic settings with work that doesn't allow for creativity and innovation. We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8 week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.</span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 19px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Technology and Applied Design Program</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Technology and Applied Design Program provide students with a broad professional and liberal-arts education, which prepares them for entrance into careers or into graduate schools.

The EPG teaching approach is expressed in the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership. That cycle centers on six core learning goals of the program: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating change. Through this program, Berea College is able to select 20 students to participate in an 8 week summer institute based in Central Appalachia working to create a more sustainable economy for future generations. This is done in a variety of ways, one of the most recent is by utilizing social media marketing skills to help small businesses reach a larger consumer base. Another way is through the travel and tourism industry.

Founded as the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, Berea admits only academically promising students, who have limited economic resources, especially students from Appalachia. All students at Berea work at least 10 hours per week in more than 130 departments and organizations on and off campus.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Entrepreneurship at Berea College has manifested itself in different academic and labor activities on campus such as the General Studies Program, Service-Learning Program, Active-Learning Experience.

We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8 week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.</span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 19px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Technology and Applied Design Program</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-90c0504e-3d7a-c40e-a245-9856d3259896"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Technology and Applied Design Program provide students with a broad professional and liberal-arts education, which prepares them for entrance into careers or into graduate schools.

The EPG teaching approach is expressed in the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership. That cycle centers on six core learning goals of the program: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating change. Through this program, Berea College is able to select 20 students to participate in an 8 week summer institute based in Central Appalachia working to create a more sustainable economy for future generations. This is done in a variety of ways, one of the most recent is by utilizing social media marketing skills to help small businesses reach a larger consumer base. Another way is through the travel and tourism industry.

We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8 week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is.

<p>JacobAHeller: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:JacobAHeller.jpg|thumb]]Jacob Heller is a University Innovation Fellow from the Spring 2015 Cohort. My name is Jacob Heller and I'm a Junior at Berea College majoring in Technology and Applied Design with a focus in Technology Management. Being someone with many passions, it was difficult for me to choose my current major. However, after taking some exploratory courses, I decided this was the one for me. During my sophomore year, I was accepted into Entrepreneurship for the Public Good and have since found my passion to be in entrepreneurship and bettering the world through technology and innovation. I fell in further love with entrepreneurship through Startup Weekends Louisville and Lexington!<br /> <br /> What's unique about Berea College is that it's a work-study college, where everyone on campus has a job that supports the campus community and no one pays tuition. My job on campus is as a Facilities Operations Manager and Resident Assistant of the greenest residence hall in the world - Deep Green Residence Hall, talk about good management experience!<br /> <br /> I love technology and experimenting with it in many different settings - from AutoCad modeling and 3D printing to woodworking and computer aided manufacturing. Check out my personal website, JacobAHeller.com, for more about me and what I’ve learned. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> I'm really excited to be a part of the University Innovation Fellows and really believe Berea's campus can be a great place to spark innovation, creation, and collaboration among its student body.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> = <span class="mw-headline" id="Related_Links" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4;">Related Links</span> =<br /> <br /> [[Berea_College|<font color="#003399"><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Berea College</span></font>]]<br /> <br /> [[Berea_College_Student_Priorities|<font color="#003399"><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Berea College Student Priorities</span></font>]]</div>

<p>JacobAHeller: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:JacobAHeller.jpg|thumb|JacobAHeller.jpg]]Jacob Heller is a University Innovation Fellow from the Spring 2015 Cohort. My name is Jacob Heller and I'm a Junior at Berea College majoring in Technology and Applied Design with a focus in Technology Management. Being someone with many passions, it was difficult for me to choose my current major. However, after taking some exploratory courses, I decided this was the one for me. During my sophomore year, I was accepted into Entrepreneurship for the Public Good and have since found my passion to be in entrepreneurship and bettering the world through technology and innovation. I fell in further love with entrepreneurship through Startup Weekends Louisville and Lexington!<br /> <br /> What's unique about Berea College is that it's a work-study college, where everyone on campus has a job that supports the campus community and no one pays tuition. My job on campus is as a Facilities Operations Manager and Resident Assistant of the greenest residence hall in the world - Deep Green Residence Hall, talk about good management experience!<br /> <br /> I love technology and experimenting with it in many different settings - from AutoCad modeling and 3D printing to woodworking and computer aided manufacturing. Check out my personal website, JacobAHeller.com, for more about me and what I’ve learned. &nbsp;<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> I'm really excited to be a part of the University Innovation Fellows and really believe Berea's campus can be a great place to spark innovation, creation, and collaboration among its student body.</div>

When I chose to come to Berea College, I did so because of a soccer injury that happened during my senior season - making me want to play in college. I came and played my freshman season for the Mountaineers, after which I broke my ankle. Instead of fighting through therapy to continue, I put my energy into learning and my future. I was accepted into Entrepreneurship for the Public Good here at Berea College and have since found my passion to be in entrepreneurship and bettering the world through technology and innovation. I fell in further love with entrepreneurship through Startup Weekends Louisville and Lexington! <br /> <br /> What's unique about Berea College is that it's a work-study college, where everyone on campus has a job that supports the campus community and no one pays tuition.
