Organization:Team Awareness
Contents
Overview
Team Awareness works on strategies to reach other students with the message that Innovation and Entrepreneurship are important activities to engage in while at college. Expanding one's entrepreneurial mindset allows students to explore their creative and innovative potential, work on projects that acheive social impact, build one's project/resume portfolio and cultivates the skill sets that contribute to one's future employer, be it a business or non-profit setting.
