<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align: justify;"><big><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2c383da6-32ce-591a-f3cb-561b62ac9d26"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At Susquehanna University, entrepreneurship and innovation opportunities exist for students and experienced professors on and off campus. Students can learn from professors through class lessons and succeed outside of the classroom with personal ventures and research. In addition, the Sigmund Weis School of Business implemented entrepreneurship and innovation as an undergraduate minor. In recent years, Susquehanna has partnered with Columbia University to create a dual degree program in Liberal Arts and Science Education and Engineering. Interested students will be able to obtain two bachelor’s degrees in a short span of five years.</span></span></span></span></big></p> <p><big><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2c383da6-32ce-591a-f3cb-561b62ac9d26"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Student Engagement</span></span></span></span></big></p>
<big><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">At Susquehanna, opportunities for student engagement in entrepreneurship and innovation continue to grow each year. The University established an Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor to replace the Business Administration Entrepreneurship emphasis. Faculty and staff members teaching entrepreneurship courses are encouraging students to participate in the program regardless of academic discipline. Hopeful students who wish to create their own organizations or campus publications will quickly learn about the willingness and guidance from the faculty and staff to help students turn their ideas into reality. The University hosted a Pitch Contest in the Spring of 2014 and allowed students from various backgrounds and disciplines to share their ideas for innovation and creativity. The Pitch Contest has not been held since, but the University Innovation Fellows team wishes to collaborate with the Business School, Susquehanna alumni, and the career development center to reinstate the Pitch Contest in future years.</span></span></big>
