Spectrum News: UC, Saint Ursula partnership goes beyond the classroom
High school students to have access to business class, co-curricular activities
Students at Saint Ursula Academy (SUA) in Cincinnati are looking forward to the opportunities that will be available to them through a new partnership with the University of Cincinnati's Carl H. Lindner College of Business, Spectrum News reported.
The RDI Entrepreneurship Program at Saint Ursula Academy will be offered to SUA juniors and seniors beginning in the fall. The program will feature essentials of entrepreneurship, a College Credit Plus course taught by a Lindner faculty member on-site at SUA.
“One of our great hopes is that we’re helping young students, in this case, the young women of Saint Ursula, start to explore what they could get excited about, be passionate about,” said Marianne Lewis, PhD, the dean of the Carl H. Lindner College of Business. “We say at Lindner that we are about empowering business problem solvers, and entrepreneurship is a powerful problem-solving tool.”
A difference between this partnership and others between high schools and colleges is that students will have access to UC’s Center for Entrepreneurship and co-curricular activities like pitch competitions.
“This is the first entrepreneurship course in a high school that is actually a partnership beyond the course itself,” Lewis said. “Meaning bringing them to campus, engaging them in pitch competitions. They will be college students at Saint Ursula when they are in that course. So they have access to other opportunities here.”
