Innovation & Entrepreneurship Newsletter

The University of New Haven has its own radio station that broadcasts various musics and shows. Often, it encourages colleges and clubs to advertise events or facilitate hour-long discussions. There should be an hour dedicated to a conversation that promotes I&E and makes students and faculty aware of I&E events on campus. A possible candidate to host the show could be the newly initiated club EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power).

Discussion Dinners &nbsp

The KEEN Summer Interdisciplinary Design Experience (K-SIDE) will be a week and a half long intensive program offered during May at the University of New Haven. Inspired by Bucknell University, interdisciplinary teams work for no credit or pay to imagine, prototype and pitch a device that will contribute to the solution of a social problem. More details will come as the event nears.

Mentorship

Currently, there are many opportunities at the University of New Haven available to students. However, not all may be aware of events and programs that are offered. Additionally, some students may need guidance. The E²-LLC hires a student peer mentor and coordinator to faciliate events and connect students with opportunities. The University should collectively work towards implementing more peer mentors, whether staff or student mentors, to motivate and inform students of I&E opportunities and events. 

KEEN

The University of New Haven is a very up and coming school in innovation and entrepreneurship.  The curriculum is unique and introduces experiential learning starting freshman year. The university is currently developing a minor in Entrepreneurship through the business school and the engineering school introduces innovation and entrepreneurial thinking into its courses through its KEEN module ([http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/ http://www.newhaven.edu/engineering/kern-entrepreneurial-engineering-network/774399/keen-online-modules/])
