PUBLIC SERVICE MINDSET Public Service is the act of making a positive change for a greater good. We help students find purpose and take action on issues they find meaningful and relevant. We envision a world where all citizens pursue their highest potential while improving the world around them. We ask scholars to start with their hearts and follow through with their minds.
ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLSET Entrepreneurs are driven to solve problems. It takes drive and grit to be an entrepreneur, but it also takes a skill set that can be learned, including the abilities to ask relevant questions, present new ideas, observe behaviors, experiment with options, and convey a story. Our scholars practice these skills through hands-on projects, while learning how to identify problems and approach solutions sustainably.
