Innovation

Part of the out-of-the-classroom learning that the Collis Center and Student Involvement works to facilitate is based upon innovation. We encourage students to come up with creative programs and events within budgetary limits while utilizing all of the resources at their disposal. As part of their event planning, we work to inspire students to address community and world issues, solve problems, create change, and take risks as part of the planning process while researching all the facts behind their planning efforts. Our student employees learn to maximize limited resources, and with student groups, we emphasize a focus on homegrown ideas rather than spending money in order to bring programming to campus.
