Description, Abstract, or Artist's Statement
How prepared are you to thrive in our global high-skilled workforce? Do you process the skills to solve the world’s most complex social problems? Do you have a desire to launch your own venture one day? Regardless of your deepest dreams, goals, aspirations, or ambitions my Senior Inquiry is a living document on how Augustana can foster innovative and entrepreneurial thinking on campus to solve complex issues on the local, national, and global levels. This project is an in-depth strategic proposal designed to offer Augustana’s senior leadership, administration, faculty, and additional stakeholders cutting-edge insights and creative recommendations on how Augustana can foster entrepreneurial thinking and innovation on campus.
Within this project I address the following sub topics:
-
The rise of entrepreneurship and innovation in higher education
-
Entrepreneurial ecosystems within other higher education institutions
-
The Emergence of Generation Z aka the iGen
-
How this proposal complements Augie’s current 2020 Strategic Plan
-
The importance of entrepreneurial core competencies and how these competencies improve employment in the 21st century workforce
-
The power of a design-centric curriculum and how students can apply entrepreneurial thinking by presenting sustainable solutions to address social issues
-
Future recommendations and initiatives on how to strengthen entrepreneurial student leadership in and outside the classroom
