Overview
Susquehanna University is a small liberal arts University in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. Susquehanna's motto is to achieve, lead and serve. Susquehanna also allows students to take a step forward, and enter new conversations through our various clubs and organizations as well as through our Global Opportunities Program, which connects students with the world and its various cultures. While there are some opportunities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, such as the newly implemented Entrepreneurship minor, the school can still improve in many areas. We live in a changing world full of opportunities. Entrepreneurship and Innovation should not be limited to business students, all students should have the opportunity to explore Innovation and entrepreneurship.
One of the biggest challenges that Susquehanna faces is the lack of collaboration between majors. Students usually feel limited by their departments and associate Entrepreneurship with the business school. The main objective of the Leadership Circle is to implement more I&E programs on campus and promote departmental collaboration.
