Description
|
Beginning in 2001-2002, the faculty and administration of the Graduate
School's Intellectual Entrepreneurship Program (IE) will provide a
consulting service to academic units (e.g., departments, graduate
programs, scientific laboratories, schools/ colleges). For a negotiated
fee (commensurate with the range and amount of services provided), we
will offer students--in a disciplinary and/or content-specific
environment--training and assistance in such areas as: academic and
professional communication and writing, pedagogy, team-building and
collaboration, technology, ethics, consulting and entrepreneurship.
Like the existing cross-disciplinary Intellectual Entrepreneurship
Classes (GRS), the consulting service is designed to help graduate
students discover the enormous value of their scholarly expertise and
to acquire the mindset, knowledge and skills required to maximize the
value of that expertise and to be successful and resilient academic
professionals. Consonant with the philosophy of the IE Program and
courses, the objective of the consulting service is to aid academic
units in putting into place effective and sustainable structures that
enable graduate students to own their education and professional
development.
