Changes

Most entrepreneurial organizations begin as a small grassroots group then slowly expand.  The audience for interdisciplinary groups are students who wish to build a portfolio and not just a resume.  These are the people that love having an end result and ask themselves “What business would I want to start?”  The goal of most artists is to create something, which isn’t very different from engineers who like to solve problems and create solutions.  Elliot Roth says he became an engineer to make things and was frustrated with the lack of outlets to express the need to tinker and build in his university classes.  An entrepreneurial organization, like SEED, allowed for the space and resources to fulfill this outlet. The collaboration with an artist group like ArtUp brought the two groups together with a common mission and appealed to those who wanted to share their point of view and experience others. 

Student leadership is a task for those that are most dedicated.  It is a position of challenges but grows with the organization.  As a student leader it is very important to recognize people and realize that one person can’t do everything and delegation is essential.  Leadership is responsible for the bottom line and must drive the organization to meet deadlines, communicate and produce.
