<span style="font-size:x-small">Photo credit: John Kelly Boise State University and the Boise community generate awareness and help others discover the value of student innovation and entrepreneurship with a variety of experiential courses and workshops, programs, inspiration events, and communication initiatives. One example is the Work U program, coordinated by the Boise State Career Center, which targets students whose major may not have have a specific career track and pairs them with an entrepreneur or project within the Boise community. The Digital Marketing course from the College of Innovation + Design’s Bridge to Career Program gives students practical, workplace skills and culminates in a final project that can be reflected in the workplace. TedxBoise is an annual event that brings people together to share ideas worth spreading and with a mission to explore, expose, and expand. Major marketing initiatives, from the College of Innovation + Design’s annual report to the Focus on Boise State magazine, all help to communicate the positive and valuable experience of students involved in innovative and entrepreneurial efforts at Boise State Photographic Services</span>and beyond.
