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 (GO) program, which connects students with the world and its various cultures through by establishing a study abroad GO academic requirement. While there are some opportunities for Innovation innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E)entrepreneurship, such as participating in the recently implemented Entrepreneurship & and Innovation minor, the university still has lots of room for improvement.&nbsp; One of the biggest challenges that Susquehanna faces is the lack of collaboration between the Sigmund Weis Business School and the School of Arts and Sciences. Students focus on individual departmental disciplines and associate the words "entrepreneurship" and "innovation" strictly with business. The main objective of our University Innovation Fellows Leadership Circle is to implement more innovation and entrepreneurship programs on campus and promote interdisciplinary collaboration. '''Spring 2015 Pitch '''- &nbsp;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6fupPb51eI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6fupPb51eI] '''Fall 2016 Pitch''' - &nbsp;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhbBjd26XYA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhbBjd26XYA] '''Fall 2019 Pitch''' - &nbsp;[https://youtu.be/Fb30yXi1k9s https://youtu.be/Fb30yXi1k9s]
