Norwich University was founded in 1819 and is the oldest private military university in America. Today, the university offers both a Corps of Cadets and civilian lifestyle; the population of civilian students is growing. The university offers thirty diverse bachelor degrees from criminal justice to engineering to business management. Built on strong military traditions, the university offers great leadership development opportunities. The university has a small ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship. A growing student population is showing great interest in pursuing more innovation and entrepreneurship education opportunities. The university is supporting the efforts of those entrepreneurial minded students working to grow the suppoprt support ecosystem and opportunities.

Norwich appears relatively strong from the standpoint of entrepreneurship and innovation (E&I). Most majors stress the importance of E&I and there are great events to inspire E&I. Lecture series that are both major specific and open to all are often motivating and inspiring. There are also great opportunities to practice and further develop one's leadership skills. There are formal courses that provide opportuntities opportunities to engage in entrepreneurial thinking. A growing E&I club is hoping to increase engagement in the E&I environment activities around campus. Opening up new communication networks within the university and also with the surrounding area outside of campus is a major goal of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club.

The business school offers many business management and leadership courses that convey E&I risks and benefits. There are also many professors who own their own businesses or have are engaged in great research projects going on. Clubs on campus that hold events relating to E&I are relatively limited. The growing Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club is hoping to hold more events , sponsor student-led initiatives, and levy create a permanent E&I space. In the school for funding to create some sort Spring of open lab. Only 2014, one competition has been held solely for E&I recently, and that focused competition was a speech competitions held on why E&I is important to Americacampus.

There The university was founded on principles of experiential education. Many programs have significant lab requirements offering hands-on experiences. Every program requires a senior, capstone design project that is little applied focused on the students' developing their own creative works. The capstone projects provide a great opportunity for E&I around campus. There activity to be incorporated or highlighted, but it is normal course work not required and lab work but nothing devoted varies greatly depending on the interests of the students. Formal laboratory courses provide great opportunities to E&I. The lab work helps gain lots of hands -on experience, but it would be great to have more do not necessarily provide opportunities for students to work on their own projects. Our only machine lab is no longer open to A dedicated ideation / creation space, not scheduled for classes, may invite more students to work on outside projects, so the need for some sort of design and innovation space is growingapply E&I principles in their pursuits. No set partnerships for internship or co-op opportunities are available, but our Our Career Development Center is very helpful in finding at supporting students seeking paid, outside internships and is always willing to help out whoever they can.

The only resource we have for committing Approximately 150k is set aside annually to support undergraduate student based research ideas. Students may seek funding to an idea is further research their ideas through a grant systemprogram that supports them as they commit to spend 10 weeks, full-time, in pursuit of their ideas. Research grants for the summer are obtainable if you write Students select a great proposal mentor of their choosing and find a faculty member who is interested in the topic. Professors have access to university labs and the undergraduate research office often offer help when writing grants and trying to find funding for a students workfacilities. 

From a reframing standpoint many Many students have no idea that we are located in a top ten state for entrepreneurship([http://accd.vermont.gov/business/start/entrepreneurship http://accd.vermont.gov/business/start/entrepreneurship]). There From a reframing standpoint, there are many resources outside of the university like (e.g. Start-Up Vermont or , VCET , PeakPitch, The Generator) which are great services for regional entrepreneurs. Most professors are interested in there their students ' work and often lend out information on networking support and encourage the students as they network and seek growth opportunities for the students idea to growtheir ideas. === Landscape Canvas === ---- [[Filehttps:VCETlogo//docs.google.jpgcom/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av7vJTO2J5_pdHhzb21xR1ZnSVNrZWJVZmU3bnVocmc&usp=drive_web#gid=0 Norwich University Landscape Canvas ] = Related Links = ---- [[Jacob Keasbey|Jacob Keasbey]] [[Norwich University Student Priorities|thumbNorwich University Student Priorities]] [[Category:Universities]][[Category:Schools]][[Category:Norwich_University]]{{CatTree|Norwich_University}}
