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.

= Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship =

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. 

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.

= Actively Supporting University Technology Transfer =

There are no known examples of our university supporting technology transfer. 

= Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration =

The career development office hosts yearly career fairs that bring outside industry in to recruit students for both internships and full time positions and has various events throughout the year to prepare students for internships and life after graduation, like Cornell Weekend. Cornell Weekend is an event where MBA student from Cornell University come to Berea College for a weekend and meet with students to help them with their resumes and do practice interviews.  

In terms of entrepeneurship, outside of Entrepreneurship for the Public Good and their regional contacts that aid their efforts in Central Appalachia, there is no university industry collaboration.

= Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program[[File:EPG.jpeg|thumb]] =

The Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program creates a multi-year, learning experience for Berea students to practice and implement Entrepreneurial Leadership in rural communities of Central Appalachia. 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. Summer 2014, Cohort 11 received 7/8 Executive Judge's signatures to declare interest in the developing the Kentucky Trail Town system for their towns.

Service-Learning Program[[File:CELTS-Berea.jpeg|frame|CELTS-Berea.jpeg]]

The Service-Learning Program at Berea College is housed under Center for Excellent Learning Through Service. Service-learning is an educational experience based upon a collaborative partnership between a college and  the community. Learning through service in Berea College enables students to apply academic knowledge and critical thinking skills to meet genuine community needs. Through reflection and assessment, students gain deeper understanding of course content and the importance of civic engagement.

Some examples of service-learning courses are:

The following are the three major strategic priorities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Berea College Campus:

== Priority #1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches ==

Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. Hosted on the college campus, students will have the chance to build upon an idea that engages problems occurring on the micro level, while also being mentored/judged by experts in the field. We will have professors from Computer Science, Business, Economics, Technology and Applied Design to act as judges, and have local businesses provide financial awards that creates a partnership through I&E principles. The first night of the event, we will teach students concepts such as Design Thinking which can help in their idea processes, and skills they can use after the weekend it complete.

The following are the three major strategic priorities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Berea College Campus:

== Priority #1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches ==

Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. Hosted on the college campus, students will have the chance to build upon an idea that engages problems occurring on the micro level, while also being mentored/judged by experts in the field. We will have professors from Computer Science, Business, Economics, Technology and Applied Design to act as judges, and have local businesses provide financial awards that creates a partnership through I&E principles. The first night of the event, we will teach students concepts such as Design Thinking which can help in their idea processes, and skills they can use after the weekend it complete.

The following are the three major strategic priorities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Berea College Campus:

== Priority #1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches ==

Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. Hosted on the college campus, students will have the chance to build upon an idea that engages problems occurring on the micro level, while also being mentored/judged by experts in the field. We will have professors from Computer Science, Business, Economics, Technology and Applied Design to act as judges, and have local businesses provide financial awards that creates a partnership through I&E principles. The first night of the event, we will teach students concepts such as Design Thinking which can help in their idea processes, and skills they can use after the weekend it complete.

= Strategic Priorities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Berea College Campus =

= 2015 Cohort =

The following are the three strategic priorities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Berea College Campus:

== Priority #1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches ==

Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. Hosted on the college campus, students will have the chance to build upon an idea that engages problems occurring on the micro level, while also being mentored/judged by experts in the field. We will have professors from Computer Science, Business, Economics, Technology and Applied Design to act as judges, and have local businesses provide financial awards that creates a partnership through I&E principles. The first night of the event, we will teach students concepts such as Design Thinking which can help in their idea processes, and skills they can use after the weekend it complete.

'''Leaders: '''Eugeniu Prodan, Anthony Ayebiahwe

'''Milestone: '''First event, Spring 2015

'''''Tactic #1'''''

== Priority #1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches ==

Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. Hosted on the college campus, students will have the chance to build upon an idea that engages problems occurring on the micro level, while also being mentored/judged by experts in the field. We will have professors from Computer Science, Business, Economics, Technology and Applied Design to act as judges, and have local businesses provide financial awards that creates a partnership through I&E principles. The first night of the event, we will teach students concepts such as Design Thinking which can help in their idea processes, and skills they can use after the weekend it complete.

[[Priority#1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches|'''Priority #1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches''']]

Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. Hosted on the college campus, students will have the chance to build upon an idea that engages problems occurring on the micro level, while also being mentored/judged by experts in the field. We will have professors from Computer Science, Business, Economics, Technology and Applied Design to act as judges, and have local businesses provide financial awards that creates a partnership through I&E principles. The first night of the event, we will teach students concepts such as Design Thinking which can help in their idea processes, and skills they can use after the weekend it complete.

[[Priority#1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches|'''Priority #1: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches''']]

Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. Hosted on the college campus, students will have the chance to build upon an idea that engages problems occurring on the micro level, while also being mentored/judged by experts in the field. We will have professors from Computer Science, Business, Economics, Technology and Applied Design to act as judges, and have local businesses provide financial awards that creates a partnership through I&E principles. The first night of the event, we will teach students concepts such as Design Thinking which can help in their idea processes, and skills they can use after the weekend it complete.

[[2014 UIF Cohort|2014 Cohort]]

Our delivery methodology will be to create a space, an innovation studio, where we will strive to foster activities that encourage and support innovation on campus, especially among the student body.

This studio will be known as the Berea Innovation Studio (BIS).

Within the BIS, we will have:

= Overview[[File:BereaCampus.jpeg|thumb|BereaCampus.jpeg]] =

Berea is a private liberal arts college, which distincts itself by its ‘free tuition’ policy, its rigorous undergraduate academic programs and its labor program. 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.

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.

= Overview[[File:BereaCampus.jpeg|thumb|BereaCampus.jpeg]] =

Berea is a private liberal arts college, which distincts itself by its ‘free tuition’ policy, its rigorous undergraduate academic programs and its labor program. 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.

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.

Service-Learning Program[[File:CELTS-Berea.jpeg|frame|CELTS-Berea.jpeg]]

The Service-Learning Program at Berea College is housed under Center for Excellent Learning Through Service. Service-learning is an educational experience based upon a collaborative partnership between a college and  the community. Learning through service in Berea College enables students to apply academic knowledge and critical thinking skills to meet genuine community needs. Through reflection and assessment, students gain deeper understanding of course content and the importance of civic engagement.

Some examples of service-learning courses are:

= Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program[[File:EPG.jpeg|thumb]] =

The Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program creates a multi-year, learning experience for Berea students to practice and implement Entrepreneurial Leadership in rural communities of Central Appalachia. 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.
