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.

Increasing Innovation and Entreprenuership
Contact: Tiffany Richards
- Implementation of more Innovative and Entreprenuerial courses across departments to stress entreprenuership in more than just business
- Interdisciplinary Majors for more flexibility
- 3-day Start-up
- There is currently an Interdisciplinary requirement as part of the central curriculum, however students are only required to take one course that stresses on this. Having more interdisciplinary courses could be beneficial to the students. Also, implementing I&E into current courses in any major would also be beneficial.
- Evaluate Curriculum
- Meeting with faculty from various departments
- Assessing current impacted areas
- Presentation to the University President and Board of Trustees
- Prepare Curriculum
- Having startup weekends/lean startup workshops, or even exposing our students to one would be very beneficial. It is an excellent way to motivate students and make them interested in I&E.
- Discuss strategy with interested alum
- Attend Start-up weekend
- Reach out to Bucknell for possible collaboration
- Assess our campus and begin preparations
Increasing Awareness and Opportunities
Contact: Alexis Gargin
- Innovation and Entreprenuership Newsletter
- Publish Innovation and Entreprenuerial Initiatives being implemented on campus
- Core Curriculum Classes for business basics
- The main focus will be on the "Awareness" aspect of our projects. Alexis Gargin is a Creative writing major that currently runs a magazine on campus called 'Flagship', which focuses on students experiences abroad.
- Asses the campus
