definitions of innovation all center around one word: forward.  People who are innovative are forward-thinking and forward-moving, and innovative products or ideas are ones that take us forward.  Modern innovation is not confined to business or economics, though.

He’s excited about the program because it has “10 zillion applications,” many which extend beyond the boundaries of art. “Design can be used everywhere,” he said. “There are lots of applications across the university.” According to Rhino’s Web site, the software is currently used in a variety of fields, from architecture and industrial, marine and

. “We are making a deliberate effort to give the introductory biology courses a more welcoming, personal experience that students expect from a place like PLU,” said Egge. For instance, the two profs break down Bio 126 to smaller groups. Students have the same professor for their lab that they do for lecture. This way, even though multiple profs teach the courses, a given student will only interact with one professor. Egge estimates he sees his students four times a week for a total of about six

training and education in the professions which modern society requires” [my italics]?To date, we have begun discussions about new programs in which courses offered by faculty in the professional schools would be combined with courses traditionally offered by faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences. Professors in the professional schools are also being drawn into foundational courses, such as the Freshman experience. Potential cross-disciplinary programs that result from such creative overlaps are

students into diverse teams and asks them to develop their own creative idea, process, or campaign. Even with these required courses, the Innovation Studies program is incredibly flexible, because it works with just about any major on campus and often accepts credit for work done in other departments. For example, history majors can double-dip two courses in the program. Attracting New Students How successful is the program so far?
