The project is an important element of the mission and vision of Iona University and the Hynes Institute
Description
Iona University identified Partnerships and Community Engagement as one of its key strategic areas. In support of these strategic priorities, the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation has embarked on a series of pilot programs and identified its community incubator space, “GaelVentures” to house these pilot programs (e.g. in spring 2022 Iona students partnered with the Business Council of Westchester and the City of Mount Vernon to engaged in a design project to better help Minority and Women-Owned businesses in the City of Mount Vernon to secure government contracts). These programs are designed to get Iona students actively engaged in design projects that are aimed at creating positive societal and economic impact in our surrounding communities. Building on the initial successes, this project will allow Iona University to develop a novel approach to experiential learning that engages Iona students and faculty in creative problem-solving that positively impact our local communities and businesses.
