Students who complete the Managing Technology and Innovation Concentration are eligible to have the Concentration noted on their transcripts (please see the Bulletin for the list of requirements). Take advantage of this focused set of courses to deepen your overall understanding of: the innovation context, organizing for innovation (both large firm issues and start-ups), the process of innovation (team and project management), and systems design.  

These courses will better prepare you to engage with the Santa Clara University technology and innovation community.  Relevant University organizations include: the Leavey School of Business’ Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship; the SCU Center for Science, Technology, and Society; SCU's Tech Law Forum; and especially, the student-run Entrepreneurs’ Connection.

Fellowship from CSTS 1/26 deadline

Sunday, Jan. 8, 2012

 Email from CSTS:

I would like to follow up on an email that you received Friday, January 6 to remind you of the upcoming deadline for juniors in your department to apply for the Global Social Benefit Fellowship. The Center for Science, Technology, and Society has launched this opportunity for juniors to work in the field with our network of social entrepreneurs, alumni of our GSBI™. This fellowship will provide your students a terrific opportunity to learn how technology is benefitting humanity through social entrepreneurship.

 

The Global Social Benefit Fellowship integrates community based learning and research. The research can be applied toward a fellow's senior thesis or capstone project. The fellowship is open to juniors in all majors. It requires a sustained, year-long commitment, roughly equivalent to a minor.

 

Fellows will:

  •             take a social entrepreneurship course in the spring of their junior year;
  •             spend about 5 weeks during the summer in the field with one of our partner organizations;
  •             volunteer on campus in August with our GSBI program for social entrepreneurs; and
  •             engage in research and reflection through a course in the fall of senior year. 

The deadline is January 26, 2012, and we encourage you to recommend your best students for this fellowship and have them attend one of the three Student Information Sessions scheduled as follows:

 

-Monday, January 9, 2012 at 1:00 pm

Center for Science, Technology, and Society Conference Room, Nobili Hall

 

 

-Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 4:00 pm, Lucas Hall 125

 

 

-Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at Noon

Center for Science, Technology, and Society Conference Room, Nobili Hall

 

 

Please have students RSVP to Keith Warner at kwarner@scu.edu.  Also if you have students you would like to recommend, please send Keith their name and email address. 

 

I am particularly pleased that the Center can now work more closely with you as a faculty member in mentoring SCU students in social entrepreneurship with science and technology. I believe this fellowship can provide the students in your department a life-changing experience by working with these terrific societal change-makers.

 

Wishing you a Happy New Year!
