Strategic Priorities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Berea College Campus
Our delivery methodology will be to create a space, an innovation studio, where we will strive to foster activities that encourage and support innovation on campus, especially among the student body.
This studio will be known as the Berea Innovation Studio (BIS).
Within the BIS, we will have:
Five Strategic Priorities
