TG, the organization also known as Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation, touted Intellectual Entrepreneurship (IE) in several issues of its online newsletter AIEMail.
It began the series with a piece on “The Entrepreneurial Mindset,” which discussed how the qualities of entrepreneurs are desirable even in entry-level positions. The second piece, “The Entrepreneurial Mindset on Campus” was a short article about Intellectual Entrepreneurship and included an interview with Dr. Rick Cherwitz, founder of IE. The final piece was “The Entrepreneurial Mindset: A University/Community Collaboration.“ It was a discussion of how IE is partnering with community groups to give high school students an opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills in order to develop a pathway to college. It described IE’s partnership with E4Youth last summer.
IE student Justin Jefferson, a UT Human Biology senior, leads science experiments with East Austin middle school students during a summer session of ItCouldBeU, one way IE connected college students with community.
Also in June, Dr. Cheritz also had a piece published in Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, “Why Intellectual Entrepreneurship Can Increase Diversity.”
