Experiential Learning
Sometimes we need to bring the outside world into the classroom and other times, we need to bring the classroom into the outside world. Internships, externships and other educational structures can help promote knowledge acquisition and application outside the classroom. The Sun Devil Entrepreneurship Network, for example, provides students with experiences in emerging ventures in the Phoenix area. Nursing students in the Master in Healthcare Innovation program are encouraged to design and then implement a more effective process or product in the healthcare settings in which they work. And graduate students in Arts, Media and Engineering are being entrepreneurial by aggressively cutting across disciplines to use and package experiential media to address significant social challenges.

Sun Devil Entrepreneur Network
SDEN, the Sun Devil Entrepreneur Network, connects the vibrant start-up community of Arizona with the energy of entrepreneurially-minded ASU students. Start-ups benefit by gaining access to help for their venture while students gain the experience of working inside an entrepreneurial environment. Even if your company is no longer the "small fish", SDEN is also a great place to give back to ASU through mentorship. Globaltranz is one of twenty-five companies currently participating in the launch of the program. For more information contact Rhett Wilson at rhett.wilson@asu.edu.

Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative

Through the Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative successful applicants will get their venture funded, get office space at SkySong and (most importantly) get invaluable mentorship. Edson helps students across the university to explore their innovative ideas for business products and services in partnership with faculty, researchers and successful entrepreneurs from both the academic and private sectors. The program will help students succeed in any enterprise, large or small, for-profit or not-for-profit, domestic or global.
