Developing Great Entrepreneurship Educators --- Experiential Classroom XX in Tampa

 Entrepreneurship education is unique both in what is taught and how it is taught.  As demand for entrepreneurship courses continues to grow across campuses, many universities are experiencing difficulties both in staffing courses and ensuring the quality, rigor, and substance of these courses.  Academic areas from both inside and outside the business school struggle with these issues. But how do faculty members learn the latest tools and approaches being employed by leading educators?  

The Experiential Classroom is a clinic that seeks to address these needs. The clinic is celebrating its 20th year and is dedicated to sharing leading-edge teaching practices and enhancing teaching skills. More than 1400 faculty members  from around the world have attended over the past 19 years.

The Experiential Classroom XX is co-sponsored by the University of Tampa and the University of Florida and hosted by UT in Tampa, FL from September 19-22, 2019. The clinic is taught over an intensive three-day period, and delivered by twenty-three of the top entrepreneurship educators in the world. It is a content-rich program, and introduces a number of highly effective, state-of-the-art approaches to the teaching of entrepreneurship and building of entrepreneurship programs. Its success is tied to a commitment to an experiential approach both in its subject matter and innovative delivery methods.  

Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis, and is limited to seventy delegates. The program is co-sponsored by USASBE, and a number of USASBE partial scholarships are available.  To apply go to http://www.ut.edu/entrepreneurcenter/experiential/ .  For more information, contact Michael Morris at 808-282-9342 or mhmorrisufl@gmail.com   or Olivia Manson at ECenter@ut.edu.
