Student-run ventures, actual businesses that students enroll in as
a course and run themselves, are changing the ways in which
students learn by offering valuable hands-on experience. Many
universities around the US have some form of student-run venture
operating on campus, but how learning is reinforced and integrated
into the classroom varies widely, as does the meaningfulness of the
overall student experience. Most universities operate these
ventures as one-offs, disconnected from formal academic instruction
and as a side project that never gets full faculty or student
attention. This book examines six exemplar student-run ventures in
depth. These ventures span disciplines from all across campus
(arts, humanities, technology) and have known track-records of
success, not only from a revenue perspective, but also in terms of
pedagogy and learning. Readers learn the inner workings of all six
student-run venture courses first-hand from the faculty teaching
the course and from students who have taken the course. For
instructors looking to start a student-run venture on their campus
this book is a must-have roadmap that is sure to help them sidestep
obstacles and to accelerate success. The insights contained here
show you how you can enhance student engagement and learning by
incorporating elements of 21st century entrepreneurship education
into the classroom.
