Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The UMD Office of the President launched the Academy for Innovation & Entrepreneurship in 2013 with the mission to engage all UMD students in innovation and entrepreneurship. The Academy embraces a “learning by doing” mentality and actively engages learners (students, faculty, and staff!) in innovation tools and mindsets, such as Design Thinking and Lean Startup, to empower them to become creative problem solvers. We offer interactive courses, workshops, programs, and trainings.
