<u>Pitch Contest</u>: The Pitch Contest was organized to “help students gain experience in developing and presenting ideas for innovation.” Alumni served as the judges of the event and were able to share their own experiences while building connections between current students and alumni for a greater network. The event helped to inspire ideas, as well as provide space for feedback on how students may improve their ideas and/or pitches for the future. Students were given two minutes to describe their ideas and convince the judges of their merit, learning how to best communicate in order to sell their products/ideas.

Faculty at Susquehanna University have recently engaged in innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities with many companies and organizations such as the Keystone Innovation Zone and the American Physiological Society. These opportunities open the gateway for faculty members to provide funding and the opportunity for students interested in order to build their confidence and encourage their innovation and entrepreneurial skill set.</span></span></p><br/><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2c383da6-32ce-591a-f3cb-561b62ac9d26"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Recently, Keystone Innovation Zone provided funding to a professor in the Sigmund Weis Business School to assist in developing a website for the local Selinsgrove company, Fresh Roasted Coffee. The funding provided allowed the faculty member to involve two Susquehanna University students for this great opportunity. Keystone Innovation Zone has also provided faculty and students the privilegeof assisting another local company develop a device to scale trees in order to assist the hunters in the area. Currently, faculty in the Biology department at Susquehanna University are working to gain funding from the American Physiological Society and the National Science Foundation to conduct innovative research. The funding is said to not only assist the faculty member in their research but to encourage the opportunity for students to take part in the research as well.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;">'''<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15; background-color: transparent;">Innovation Allies:</span>'''</p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Dr. Samya Bano Zain, Associate Professor of Physics, Physics Department Chair</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Dr. Scott Manning, Dean of Global Programs</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Dr. Emma FleckRobert Sieczkiewicz, Associate Assistant Professor of Management (Entrepreneurship), Research Librarian: Instruction and Digital Scholarship</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Dr. Betsy VerhoevenKatie Burr, Associate Professor of English, Director Director of the Center for Teaching and LearningFirst Year Experience</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Robert SieczkiewiczDr. Emma Fleck, Assistant Associate Professor, Research Librarian: Instruction and Digital Scholarship<of Management (Entrepreneurship)</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Dr. Amir Bahman RadnejadBetsy Verhoeven, Assistant Associate Professor of Management (Entrepreneurship)English, Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"></p><p dirspan style="ltr" style="line-heightcolor:1.15rgb(0, 0, 0);marginfont-topfamily:0pt'Times New Roman';marginfont-bottomsize:0pt16px;textline-alignheight: justify1.15;"></p>== <span id="docswhite-space: pre-internalwrap; background-guid-2c383da6-32ce-591a-f3cb-561b62ac9d26color: transparent;">Dr. Amir Bahman Radnejad, Assistant Professor of Management (Entrepreneurship)</span ></p><p dir="ltr" style="fontline-sizeheight: 16px1.15; fontmargin-familytop: 'Times New Roman'0pt; colormargin-bottom: rgb(0, 0, 0)0pt; backgroundtext-align: justify;"><span style="color: transparentrgb(0, 0, 0); font-weightfamily: bold'Times New Roman'; verticalfont-alignsize: 16px; line-height: baseline1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Staff</span></span> ==<p dirstyle="ltr" style="line-heightcolor:1.15rgb(0, 0, 0);marginfont-topfamily:0pt'Times New Roman';marginfont-bottomsize:0pt16px;textline-alignheight: justify1.15;"><span id="docswhite-internalspace: pre-guidwrap; background-2c383da6-32ce-591a-f3cb-561b62ac9d26color: transparent;">Ron Cohen, Vice President for University Relations</span style="font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-sizeheight: 16px1.15; fontmargin-familytop: 'Times New Roman'0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); backgroundfont-colorfamily: transparent'Times New Roman'; verticalfont-size: 16px; line-alignheight: baseline1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Alumni Relations and Development - Becky DietrickDeitrick, Ron Cohen → Have connected to Assistant VP of Alumni on Innovation , Parent and Entrepreneurship.
