Norwich University
Norwich University was founded in 1819 and is the oldest private military university in America. The university also offers a civilian lifestyle and the population of civilian students is growing. The university offers thirty diverse bachelor degrees, from criminal justice to engineering. Built on strong military traditions, the university has great leadership development opportunities. However, the university has a rather small ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship. The growing population is showing great promise in perusing more innovation and entrepreneurship education opportunities. The university is behind the ball on a lot of great things available to students and we hope to see that change in the near future.
Preceive E&I
From this standpoint Norwich is relatively strong. Most majors stress the importantce 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 is also great leadership oportunites and courses. A growing E&I club is hoping to increase the E&I environment around campus. Opening up new communication networks within the university and also with the area outside of campus is a major goal of the Entreprenuership and Innovation Club.
Potential E&I
The business school offers many business management and leadership courses that convey E&I risks and benifits. There are also many professors who own their own businesses or have 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 and levy the school for funding to create some sort of open lab. Only one competion has been held solely for E&I recently, and that was a speach competions on why E&I is important to America.
Applied E&I
There is little applied E&I around campus. There is normal course work and lab work but nothing devoted to E&I. The lab work helps gain lots of hands on experience, but it would be great to have more opportunities for students to work on their own projects. Our only machine lab is no longer open to students to work on outside projects, so the need for some sort of design and innovation space is growing. No set partnerships for internship or co-op oportunities are available, but our Career Developement Center is very helpful in finding outside internships and is always willing to help out whoever they can.
Realized E&I
The only resource we have for comitting to an idea is a grant system. Research grants for the summer are obtainable if you write a great proposal and find a faculty member who is interested in the topic. Professors and the undergraduate research office often offer help when writing grants and trying to find funding for a students work.
Reframing E&I
From a reframing standpoint many students have no idea that we are located in a top ten state for entrepreneurship. There are many resources outside of the university like Start-Up Vermont or VCET which are great services for reginol entrepreneurs. Most professors are interested in there students work and often lend out information on networking and opportunities for the students idea to grow.
