<span id="docs-internal-guid-9125b343-3da5-779f-b600-2a3be5901ae4"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Objective: At Illinois Institute of Technology, there are various and some what random leadership seminars held throughout &nbsp;the year on campus. Most of these leadership events are hosted by The Leadership Academy whose main target audience are its own Leadership Scholars, and the rest of the student population is forgotten. Even though these seminars are open to everywhere, most of the students who attend are the Leadership Scholars themselves, since it is a required component for remaining a scholar. After much research, I found that the speakers come from entrepreneurial backgrounds and can help in better IIT’s overall ecosystem. Therefore, the best way to get all students to attend these is by making them apart of the major curriculum. Students will be required to attend these seminars and in return receive a grade for them in their design related major courses. &nbsp;Furthermore, engineering curriculums should also require their students to attend a conference or lecture during their undergraduate career which will help them gain a better grasp on entrepreneurship and innovation.</span></span>
