Imagine Moody

It takes creativity to imagine the unknown into existence, and our community lives at the cultural intersection
where innovation meets entrepreneurship. At Moody College of Communication, our goal is to develop nextgeneration visionaries who see the world through a different lens, who find solutions to big problems, who
embrace diverse means of communication to ensure the “new” is both responsive, responsible and remarkable.

Intellectual Entrepreneurship students, the tagline for this program is "find your passion"

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.
