= Priority Four: Create Pipeline for I&E Students <br/> = Once a student has decided that I&E is the way for them to go, there are no concrete steps for them to take. In developing students passionate about this movement, we must also understand that they require a path necessary to follow once they are dedicated. Priority four is tasked primarily with the development of concrete institutional pathways through which these students can easily navigate. == Interdisciplinary Programming == Converse already offers team taught courses, bridging disciplines like english and bioogy to give students a new perspective in various topics. We offer that business focused students pair up with students in other disciplines to form new solutions for problems outside profit expansion. As a school with a history in social entrepreneurship, solving problems in innovative, business focused ways would be a natural progression in programming. Much like Extreme by Design, these programs cold be tailored to help externally contracted entities like the Rape Crisis Center, the regional school system, or local nonprofits. == Course Offerings == Social Entrepreneurship was the only class offered in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. As we expand the horizons of individual students, the course offerings must expand as well.. At a small instituion, this is often tricky. However, using the tools we showed earlier, we can find ways to make I&E classes open and inclusive, as well as to carry GEP, and multidisciplinary course requirements. == Social Entrepreneurship Curriculum == As an Algernon Sydney Sullivan School, we offer that Social Entrepreneurship deserves a concrete place in our institutions curriculum. By instituting a Social Entrepreneurship minor, major, or concentration program and the courses involved, a support system is established for those students looking to more fully explore in the field. This process will continue to develop faculty who are knowledgeable in the subject, as well as explicit pathways for individuals to follow once they are invested in I&E.
