SYRACUSE, NY -- Bruce Kingma, professor and associate dean
in Syracuse
University's School of Information Studies (iSchool), has
been appointed to
the new position of SU associate provost for
entrepreneurship and
innovation. The appointment -- made by Vice Chancellor and
Provost Eric F.
Spina -- is effective immediately.
As associate provost for entrepreneurship and innovation,
Kingma will
provide leadership for the Syracuse Campus-Community
Entrepreneurship
Initiative -- a collaborative partnership made possible by a
five-year, $3
million grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. The
Syracuse
Campus-Community Entrepreneurship Initiative builds on the
key tenets of
Scholarship in Action by encouraging faculty and students
throughout Central
New York to work with communities of experts across
disciplines and
geographic boundaries to foster entrepreneurial education
and innovation in
three key areas -- technology, neighborhood and arts
entrepreneurship --
while utilizing three experiential sites in the region: the
Syracuse Center
of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems
headquarters; The
Warehouse and the Arts Quarter in downtown Syracuse; and the
South Side
Innovation Center.
Kingma will work with SU and partner institutions to develop
new curricula
and curricular elements, enable research, and facilitate
experiential
learning and that integrates the concept of entrepreneurship
and innovation
across disciplines.
Kingma will remain as associate dean for the iSchool through
the arrival of
the school's new dean; current dean Raymond F. von Dran
steps down from his
position in August 2007.
