THEMES:
Entrepreneurship
Logic Model: Building upon (2008’s contributions by Adam Smith College and) 2009’s Sustainability Theme and the educational and economic challenges faced by most if not all institutions in all countries, exploring strategies to PIN graduate, program, institutional, and service area self-sufficiency through free/private enterprise development may be useful.
- Track 1: Leadership in Entrepreneurship – PIN institutional role in stimulating students and communities to create and/or strengthen new enterprises
- Track 2: Leveraging Local/ Institutional Comparative Advantages – How can PIN institutions create and add value to student learning and community economies through collaboration
- Track 3: Optimizing Anticipated Broadband Ubiquity – How can telecommunications and distance education technologies more effectively serve our PIN students, institutions, and communities
A Bellwether Example and Opportunity
- PIN Institutional access to award winning and other top Bellwether presentations
- Prospective learning resource for PIN and other international institutions
- Shared revenue potential among the Community College Futures Assembly (USF), PIN Organization, and lead-PIN institution per country or region.
