One of the biggest benefits of being in the Innovation, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship BDP is that you have access to individualized advising services. Erin Thomas, the advisor for Innovation, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship, specializes in helping you
Students in the Innovation, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship BDP should plan to come in for coursework advising with Erin Thomas once each long semester during registration.
Innovation, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship students must complete one connecting experience as part of the BDP. Erin can help you through the entire process, from brainstorming research and internship possibilities to helping you get course credit for the experience. Remember that it can take time to find the right connecting experience for you, so contact Erin the semester before you want to be in a connecting experience.
