However, there has been a recent push within the college to create opportunities for students to engage in I&E. Hartwick College’s curriculum calls for students to take multiple courses that contain some sort of experiential learning component. For example, POSC 310 (Parties and Elections) requires students to get involved in the election cycle, either through volunteering for a campaign, registering voters, attending debates, etc. These courses that encourage students to gain real-world experience have the ability to help foster I&E on campus. Moreover, Hartwick has just recently opened the Center for Craft Food and Beverages, in collaboration with local businesses. The Center supports research collaborations involving students, faculty, and master brewers focused on the biochemistry of brewing. A final example of student innovation and entrepreneurship at Hartwick is the Baker-Simpson Program, which allows rising seniors to work for start-up companies over the summer. These opportunities for experiential learning at Hartwick College will be the starting point for promoting greater student I&E on campus. As the existing infrastructure is built upon, the consequential growth of an I&E culture will follow. Central to the growth of I&E on campus will most definitely be the introduction of a makerspace.</span></span></span></span>

Hartwick students are connected with members of the local community through volunteer work, internships, research, and employment. The Hartwick PSGE Center links students up with numerous opportunities ranging anywhere from an internship downtown to a grant for research halfway across the world. Although Hartwick College does not have an economic development office, it has The Community Involvement and Volunteerism office (CIV), which helps students find opportunities to get involved and give back to the community.</span></span></span></span>
