The Terp Entrepreneur Network and the A. James Clark School of Engineering Alumni Network invite you to join this interactive workshop with Clark School Professor Ethan Eagle to learn how you can stimulate and manage innovation.
This program introduces leaders to the Innovation Genome and the creative process: a test-and-practice method for designing, developing and implementing innovation in real work situations. The aim of the program is to provide leaders with not only the perspective, vocabulary and skill base necessary to lead innovation-focused projects, people and ventures, but also practice in the practical aspects required for creating change.

| Network Leadership Conference Awards
|
|
|
|
| On Nov. 15 and 16, the Alumni Association hosted its annual volunteer leadership conference for alumni network leaders across the country. This conference equips volunteer leaders with information to continue to engage alumni and strengthen their connection to the university. A signature piece of the conference is the Friday evening awards program where we celebrate the year's achievements. This year, there were five categories and six network recipients.
