“We recognize that it doesn’t matter if you are an engineering student, you major in art, nursing or in business – you’re going to have to leave here with an entrepreneurial mindset so you can identify and solve the world’s emerging challenges. We are a university that’s built to serve the region and through this program, we can put our faculty, staff and most importantly our students in direct relationships with the corporations and organizations that are shaping the future of this region.” – Matt Dornbush, Dean
