INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEURS’ CURRICULUM CHALLENGE TEAM

Working with 21C has granted me with new perspectives, challenged the way I view the university learning experience and is now transforming the way we build and deliver curriculum. Even as a marketing student, my involvement in 21C, has enhanced my degree because I can actively help create curriculum that satisfies the need for specific skills and capabilities, students, like myself, are eager to attain. Who would have thought you would see students in the curriculum space!” - Sophia Clark, 21C Innovative Entrepreneurs, Student Curriculum Partner“
