 Subject: MASSMAIL - RFP-Faculty Fellows in Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship at Illinois
The Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership is the sponsor of a competitive 
Fellows program-The Faculty Fellows in Entrepreneurship.  The program is a 
key initiative in the Academys objective of broadening the understanding, 
appreciation, and inclusion of entrepreneurship in all disciplines.  In 
this context, it is based upon a comprehensive definition of 
entrepreneurship that embraces the social, intellectual, and economic 
value created through the application of entrepreneurial principles. We 
view entrepreneurship as a process of opportunity recognition and resource 
acquisition that leads to the creation of something new. This could be the 
creation of a new business, new approaches to social problems or 
development of career management strategies in the arts.

Purpose
The Faculty Fellows in Entrepreneurship Program is designed to stimulate 
and support the development and teaching of entrepreneurship courses in 
disciplines across the curriculum at the University of Illinois.  The 
purpose is to increase the number and scope of courses and experiences in 
entrepreneurship and to stimulate and nurture the entrepreneurial spirit 
in all students without regard to academic major.

Faculty candidates have the option to propose design of material 
emphasizing entrepreneurship to be integrated into a currently taught 
course, or to propose a new course that teaches entrepreneurial concepts.  
Candidates are also welcome to propose research components that will lead 
to curriculum enhancements.
