An Entrepreneurial Mindset for Student Success

An entrepreneurial mindset can empower ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things; it is a mindset that exposes opportunity, ignites ambition, and fosters the intra- and interpersonal attitudes, behaviors, and skills that lead to success in college and in life. This webinar offers an inside look at a promising new approach to student success designed to harness the power of entrepreneurial thinking as a skill all students need to thrive in the 21st century, regardless of their chosen path. During this webinar, the facilitators define entrepreneurship in a way that anyone can embrace, whether they endeavor to work within an existing organization or create something new.

  • Explore the origins and evolution of an entrepreneurial mindset: the underlying and often subconscious beliefs and assumptions that influence entrepreneurial attitudes and behavior.
  • Examine four key entrepreneurial learning models that foster ownership and increase student engagement while cultivating curiosity and creativity, critical thinking, complex problem solving, and collaboration.
  • Share case studies of how an entrepreneurial mindset has impacted student success (persistence and higher academic performance) at other institutions.
