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.<br/>Student Engagement

'''What is the Pitch Contest?''' - The Pitch Contest was organized to “help students gain experience in developing and presenting ideas for innovation”. Susquehanna Alumni served as the judges during the event and shared their own experiences while building connections with current students to establish a basis for a greater network. The event helped inspire ideas and provide valuable feedback on how students can improve their ideas and pitching skills in the future. Students were given two minutes to describe their ideas and convince the judges of their merit, learning how to effectively communicate to sell their products and ideas.

In the past, faculty members at Susquehanna University partnered with companies and organizations such as the Keystone Innovation Zone and the American Physiological Society to involve students in entrepreneurial and innovative opportunities. These opportunities help faculty members receive funding for projects and research to provide students with opportunities and skills to strengthen their innovative and entrepreneurial assets.
