Collaborate. Create. Construct.

The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a statement as well as a place. The statement is the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship serves as the focal point for encouraging and gathering innovation from across campus and the community. It is also a physical place, where students, faculty and the community can gather and leverage tools to collaboratively solve societal problems.

The Center contributes to developing students into servant-leaders by helping them to discover ways to:

  • Lead more creatively
  • Take risks comfortably because they depend on God
  • Love on people with new solutions to the economic, social, environmental, and spiritual problems of a world in need
