Spotlight
Three new certificate programs developed and designed by INSITE faculty and others allow UW-Madison students to obtain knowledge about how to imagine new opportunities, organize resources to create a venture, innovate in existing organizations, and probe entrepreneurship and innovation in society. INSITE faculty have played key roles in the design of the new certificates, and these new opportunities for students fulfill INSITE’s mission to enhance entrepreneurship education across campus. The Department of Management and Human Resources in the Wisconsin School of Business spearheads the certificate programs in collaboration with INSITE and the Weinert Center for Entrepreneurship.
