GEN:i (Generation Innovation) is a Ball State Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute original program designed with student leaders in mind. This program brings together a select group of highly motivated students to increase their skills in innovation & leadership, and to build upon entrepreneurial creativity. GEN:i was created for those students looking to take their college experience up a notch - to get out of their comfort zone and set themselves apart as they prepare for their future.
The curriculum of the program begins with self-discovery and mission development, taking participants on unique leadership development journey that redefines the traditional sense of “entrepreneurship”. Participants will also be coached in applicable tools and skills for any role, business creator or not.
