What is the U-Imagine Center?
U-Imagine focuses on teaching entrepreneurship and integration skills to students who want to pursue a new project. Students learn to approach problems in novel ways, develop comfort with ambiguity, and apply their learned-skills in action. The Center provides valuable resources to all students, no matter the experience level or academic concentration. Feel free to let us help you develop your ideas into products, brands, services, or anything that creates value by meeting a social or market need.
