3rd Annual Faculty Development Workshop : From entrepreneurship students to student entrepreneurs. Day 1

The 3rd Annual IVE Faculty Development Seminar provides an introduction to Virtual Enterprise, a set of instructional and technical tools to promote an entrepreneurial approach to higher education. In this two-day seminar, presenters highlight a series of discipline-agnostic entrepreneurship education pedagogies and methods that can be organized across the entrepreneurship education spectrum, ranging from awareness, to simulation to incubation and launch. At the center of the discussion will be an innovative approach to use action research as a mechanism to help bridge theory and practice by infusing entrepreneurship curricula and pedagogies into science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs.

Day 1: "A Look at Virtual Enterprise": Participants learn the basics of the Virtual Enterprise pedagogy and the tools and events that support it. Virtual Enterprise links CUNY campuses with CUNY Student Enterprises (Incubator) in campus based entrepreneurship outposts.

Day 2: "Student Entrepreneurship": Presenters and participants discuss incubation activities led by CUNY IVE and resources for implementation across the University. Action research methods are discussed and proposed.
