A liberal arts education provides a natural launchpad into innovation leadership. Whether for-profit or social, startup ventures often arise as solutions to complex problems. By teaching multiple ways of thinking, the liberal arts prepare students to identify overlooked problems and generate unimagined solutions.

Located in Willis 207, the Center for Leadership in Innovation & Change (CLIC) offers students space and support for experiential learning in social and for-profit innovation. Bring your team to use the Center’s group-work space. Or drop by office hours to bounce your ideas off faculty, alumni visitors, or CLIC Fellows.
