It also ensures that students develop the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to create, lead, and innovate in an ever-changing global economy.</div><div><br /></div><div>At the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, their mission is “to create and foster an interdisciplinary community of Iona students who engage in entrepreneurial learning opportunities to develop an entrepreneurial mindset."</div>'''Strategic Priorities 2023'''
Strategy 1: Classes offered with Innovation & Experience, the introduction into more entrepreneurial mindset and innovative classes that set students up for success. Work with Iona University and the Hynes institute on creating class options for students who want a more catered experience into entrepreneurship and innovation mixed with real world class options to give students the hands on experience they need. We would need to reach out and work with the provost and IT offices to create an option on Peoplesoft. This will also give students the option to request class options that might no be available at Iona.
Strategy 2: Gaels on the Go; an app that connects all activities on campus in one centralized location.
