Universities and colleges are increasingly recognized as having a
key role in national and regional development processes (Goddard et
al 1994; Keane and Allison, 1999; Chatterton&Goddard 2000). The
role of universities in this respect is likely to further increase
given the development of a 'knowledge-intensive' economy and
society. Entrepreneurialism and venture capitalism have served as
the historical backbone and economic back drop for this country's
past, present and future prosperity. Many, notably America's
immigrants, have come to see education plus entrepreneurship as the
'American Dream'. Given this historical and demographic reality,
how should college campuses be changed with creative and responsive
curriculum? The modern campus should be exciting, engaging and
empowering for students and faculty. The purpose of Drs. Stevenson
and White's study is to contribute strategies and methodologies to
the international conversation, the growing body of research and
the expanding field of study concerning the future campus in higher
education. Important arguments with supporting research are made
for a much needed reappraisal of the role of entrepreneurship in
higher education and a way forward is presented for colleges and
universities to reinvigorate key areas of curricula to reflect the
global changes in economics and education taking place today.
