This fall, the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship is offering two innovation courses: the Environmental Innovation Practicum and the Health Innovation Practicum. You will hear fantastic leading-edge speakers, work on idea generation for changes that will make a difference in the environment or in healthcare, then roll up your sleeves and work on cross-disciplinary teams to figure out how to make your ideas a reality.
