Susquehanna University is a small private liberal arts University college located in the town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. Susquehanna's motto University is dedicated to achievehelping students become proactive leaders through academics, service, lead and servepersonal assets, which is represented through the University motto “Achieve, Lead, Serve”. Susquehanna also allows students to take a step forward, engage and enter new conversations facilitate conversation through our various clubs and organizations as well as through our Global Opportunities Program(GO) program, which connects students with the world and its various culturesby establishing a GO academic requirement. While there are some opportunities for Innovation innovation and Entrepreneurshipentrepreneurship, such as the newly implemented Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor, the school can still improve in many areas. We live in a changing world full of opportunitiesuniversity has room for improvement.&nbsp;Entrepreneurship and Innovation should not be limited to business students, all students should have the opportunity to explore Innovation and entrepreneurship.

One of the biggest challenges that Susquehanna faces is the lack of collaboration between majorsthe Sigmund Weis Business School and the School of Arts and Sciences. Students usually feel limited by their departments focus on individual departmental disciplines and associate Entrepreneurship the words "entrepreneurship" and "innovation" strictly with the business school. The main objective of the our University Innovation Fellows Leadership Circle is to implement more I&E innovation and entrepreneurship programs on campus and promote departmental interdisciplinary collaboration.<p style="text-align: center;">'''Spring 2015</p><p style="textPitch '''-align: center&nbsp;">[&#x7B;&#x7B;#Widgethttps:Youtube|id//www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6fupPb51eI&#x7D;&#x7D;]<https://www.youtube.com/p><p stylewatch?v="textV6fupPb51eI] '''Fall 2016 Pitch''' -align&nbsp;[https: center;">Fall 2016</p><p style/www.youtube.com/watch?v="text-alignuhbBjd26XYA https: center;"></p><p style/www.youtube.com/watch?v="textuhbBjd26XYA] '''Fall 2019 Pitch''' -align&nbsp;[https: center;"></p><p style="text-align/youtu.be/Fb30yXi1k9s https: center;"></p>/youtu.be/Fb30yXi1k9s]
