在她的演讲中, Greene engaged the faculty audience through exercises, discussing the economic environment in which 创业 is taught, definitions that frame 创业 discussions, and new and existing pedagogies for curriculum.
“Using Babson College and the Goldman Sachs 10,000家小型企业和10家,000名妇女倡议作为例子, we had a lively discussion on a wide range of approaches to guiding student learning related to being entrepreneurial, regardless of the type of industry or organization,格林说。.
安妮的Hoag, ENTI导演, was excited to gather with colleagues from across Penn State for this annual event. “The ENTI小 and the bigger 创业 ecosystem at Penn State are growing fast,霍格说。, “and this annual retreat is where we connect, 了解澳门威尼斯人官网, 提高我们的教学技能, 并计划未来的增长. I love this group — everyone is excited to teach and mentor young entrepreneurs, but we don’t romanticize startup culture. Starting a new enterprise is the hardest thing.”
Participants from the College of 艺术与建筑, 农业科学学院, 传媒学院, 工程学院, 大学健康与人类发展, College of Information Sciences and Technology, 文理学院, 以及斯麦商学院, 以及澳门威尼斯人官网的阿宾顿分校, Beaver and Worthington-Scranton campuses, took part in sessions on student engagement, 2016全球创业周, teaching resources and innovative pedagogies for 创业, and co-working spaces and accelerators.

丹·戈德堡, 威尼斯人娱乐信誉平台分校, attended the retreat and also led a session offering guidance to faculty hoping to adopt the ENTI小 at their campus. Goldberg said he came away from the event with a number of new ideas to adopt in his MGMT 215, 工程师310, 和MGMT 425课程. “I’ll definitely be using Patti Greene’s exercise about getting a no-strings-attached investment of $1 million, 然后是500万, then $50 million to engage students on their vision, and how it does or doesn’t change with the resources available,戈德堡说.
“By expanding students’ access to a curriculum on 创业, the ENTI小 is connecting to the statewide 创造澳门威尼斯人官网 initiative focused on job creation, 经济发展, 学生的事业成功,罗布·潘伯恩说, vice president and dean for Undergraduate Education. “This is a wonderful opportunity for students to gain exposure to the local infrastructure and the exciting career paths that support innovation, and we’re happy to have the opportunity to support the faculty that guide these students.”
ENTI, 2013年推出, is offered jointly by seven colleges — Agriculture, 艺术与建筑, 通信, 工程, 健康与人类发展, 坚持, 和我们学院. The minor is available to students in any University Park college as well as those at Berks and 阿宾顿.
