As an Education student, it was incredible to find an opportunity that allowed me to combine my passion for education and business. The Dean鈥檚 Changemaker Challenge course (ASCX 200) was an incredibly unique course that allowed me to receive a hands-on learning experience while taking an interdisciplinary approach to the world of entrepreneurship and innovation.
