We hope to shift the responsibility of teaching entrepreneurship at Swat from school organizations on campus to a specific department that can act as a catalyst, working with the registrar's office to establish an entrepreneurship minor (gaining academic credit for entrepreneurship-related courses). In order to expose more of our community to design thinking, we will ask students to work with professors to determine what they want to learn about entrepreneurship in academics. Additionally, we could host a guest lecture series inviting local local entrepreneurs to share their experiences, challenges, and advice, even assigning real-world projects where students must identify a market need and develop a business plan.
'''Strategic Priority #10.1 (Ye Lin, Ainsley Tambling 2024): Swarthmore Career Little Sibs and Big Sibs'''
Having a older mentor could be very helpful for underclassmen coming into college. For class choices, opportunities on/off campus, and general advice throughout college. Having this person you can continuously talk to can be a very valuable relationship throughout their time at Swarthmore. They, then in turn, can become that upperclassmen that helps incoming students. This can help bridge the gap of the struggle that many students can't find opportunities can get more hands-on experiences. As this program grows, this will build better connections on campus which will promote campus community and growth for the student body to become better leaders as they are open to more opportunities.
