Overview
Elon is a selective, mid-sized private university renowned as a national model for engaged and experiential learning. Students work closely with faculty who are dedicated to excellent teaching and scholarship. The curriculum is grounded in the traditional liberal arts and sciences and complemented by nationally accredited professional and graduate programs.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Elon currently offers a major and a minor in entrepreneurship through the Doherty center, which prepares students to become entrepreneurs in either for-profit businesses or social businesses. While this helps, it is not enough. The business school alone seems to have a monopoly on entrepreneurship and there is not enough interdisciplinary application of design thinking and innovation. Our promotion of I&E seeks to inspire students to create and change the world around them in a variety of majors, requiring widespread faculty support and appeals to creativity that match all kinds of students.
Next Steps
- Interdisciplinary innovation (not just through business school)
- Creating I&E culture (forums, speakers, discussions, LLC, awards, more student businesses, etc.)
- Marketing (using Pendulum, career fair, and likely social media to advertise our events)
- Identifying all possible sources that can stimulate innovation (for funding, advice, etc.)
Since Elon is essentially starting from "stage 1," we must do everything we can to get more students to start businesses, non-profits, organizations, etc. and truly ingrain creativity into our culture.
