Intellectual Entrepreneurship Program
Intellectual Entrepreneurship Program is a campus-wide effort to create cross-disciplinary and multiinstitutional collaborations designed to “advance the frontiers of knowledge” and “prepare tomorrow’s leaders”
to also “serve as engines of economic and social development.” In the process, the role of a faculty member
and student evolves from that of “intellectual provocateur” to becoming what might be called an “intellectual
entrepreneur,” those who understand that genuine collaboration between universities and the public is
tantamount to more than increased “access” to the academy’s intellectual assets.
