== <span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship </span> ==
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Columbia has a number of resources dedicated to exposing students to innovation and entrepreneurship at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Courses like “Principles of Economics” in the Economics department, and “Organizing Innovation” in the Sociology department help engage students with the topic, while inspirational events like CORE’s speaker series, TEDx Columbia, and various on-campus hackathons provide creative demonstrations of the core tenants of innovation and design. After students express a desire to learn more about IE, more concrete courses like “Hacking 4 Defense”, “Introduction to Human Centered Design” and “Launch Your Start-Up” provide more explicit routes to the discipline. Additionally, there are several on-campus organizations to provide exposure to IE at the extra-curricular level, such as Design for America, Columbia Women’s Business Society, 180 Degrees Consulting, and the Application Development Initiative.</span></span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">[[File:ColumbiaAerial.jpg]]</span></span>
