A true entrepreneur when confronted with a problem will instead see a potential opportunity to innovate. Beloit College provides a perfect environment for aspiring entrepreneurs to develop their skills. Being a liberal arts college Beloit College’s main goal is to produce well-rounded individuals, who have the tools necessary to critically look at an idea and improve on it. Both the schools administration and faculty have hole heartedly embraced the idea of entrepreneurship being a vital part of a modern day liberal arts education. It has begun to be implemented in every department on the campus in one-way or another.

== Tactic #1: Senior & Junior Entrepreneurial Tour Class==
*The objective of creating this class would be to help students who are nearing graduation a chance to become more familiar with the local and regional entrepreneurial landscape. My vision for this class would be having many successful entrepreneurs come in and talk about their start-ups and also have students go on field trips to the surrounding city's. Also maybe have it run in conjunction with some local business incubators.
*TBDOffering credit for valuable off campus experiences would provide students an incentive to talk with people outside their comfortable circle about different ideas. == Tactic #2: Computer Hardware Club == *Milestones: [A set Create a club that creates a community of bullets students furthering their knowledge in products that characterize the help with innovation.
