The Skidmore motto is “creative thought matters” and the students live and breathe that motto. The abundance of talent is apparent when walking through the campus and seeing the many performances and art and that liven up the community. The most inspiring element of Skidmore can be experienced when drifting through the common areas and listening to the sophisticated conversations. The students are vibrant with information, but there are more effective ways to excerpt the plentiful talent.

As a small liberal arts college and an early -staged ~~eco system~~ecosystem, there are many possible methods to develop and grow I&E. Through research and analysing the landscape canvas, our most important discovery on achieving I&E is through interdisciplinary collaboration and integrative learning. The different methods to incite I&E may vary, but the culture grows around interdisciplinary collaboration and integrative learning. We will use these themes when developing our campus.

To provide departments the autonomy to collaborate, we think it is necessary to facilitate a collective space. When reflecting on the FORBES ranking, it sheds light on the lack resources of Skidmore as an emerging institution of I&E. In order to more effectively capitalise on this movement, Skidmore will need to adapt and grow.  In the next 2-3 years , we would like to see the institution advance in two ways; facilities and the culture. These factors are interdependent as the facilities will grow in parallel with the culture. Ultimately, our strategy will create channels to develop and expose entrepreneurial endeavours and hopefully incite an I&E revolution. From our research, we are aware of effective Workshops/laboratories that provide a center for interdisciplinary collaboration at other institutions. With Skidmore’s unique criteria, we have devised ideas that cater specifically to Skidmore’s stakeholders and provide an effective center for I&E.

The Student Expo would not be only for business and science students.  We want to promote innovation across disciplines and therefore plan to open the expo to artists, musicians, researchers, and anybody else who has exciting or innovative projects/ideas.  We want to promote shear creativity.
