We will work to identify and create more interdisciplinary, project-based courses on campus. This is the groundwork for the creation of an interdisciplinary, project-focused major in Entrepreneurship & Innovation.</span>

We are currently adapting the Landscape Canvas, as well as working with key university officials from campus, to build a comprehensive entrepreneurship "map" that is interactive and intuitive. This will break down opportunities and resources on campus by type, topic, stage of your idea, etc.
