= <big>Innovation and Entrepreneurship</big> =

<big>At Susquehanna University, entrepreneurship and innovation opportunities exist for students and experienced professors on and off campus. Students can learn from professors through class lessons and succeed outside of the classroom with personal ventures and research. In addition, the Sigmund Weis School of Business implemented entrepreneurship and innovation as an undergraduate minor. In recent years, Susquehanna has partnered with Columbia University to create a dual degree program in Liberal Arts and Science Education and Engineering. Interested students will be able to obtain two bachelor’s degrees in a short span of five years.</big>

<big>Student Engagement</big>

<big>In recent years, the Keystone Innovation Zone provided funding to one faculty member in the Sigmund Weis Business School to assist in the development of a website for Fresh Roasted Coffee, a local company in Selinsgrove. In addition, the allotted funding allowed the faculty member to collaborate with two Susquehanna University students on the project. The Keystone Innovation Zone has given students and faculty the privilege of assisting one other local company in the development of a device to scale trees for hunters in the area. Also, faculty in the Biology department at Susquehanna University are working to gain funding from the American Physiological Society and the National Science Foundation to conduct innovative research. The funding will not only assist faculty members in their research but grant students the opportunity to take part in the research alongside their professors.</big>

<big>Additionally, the Center for Teaching and Learning provides grants for faculty that foster curricular or pedagogical innovations in order to enhance learning. It also hosts lunches and workshops where faculty members can learn about teaching strategies and share innovative ideas, facilitates a "talk-while-you-walk" initiative for faculty to walk while they talk about teaching, and partners faculty members with two or three peers to discuss teaching strategies more intimately.
