CIC LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
Through applied research in Greater Binghamton, the CIC Leadership Institute familiarizes students with the many facets of the creative and knowledge economy. With a unique curriculum largely designed by students, it engages BU student leaders with community leaders from business, academic, political and cultural sectors. This interdisciplinary course focuses on examining the role of both students and mid-sized universities in community and economic development, based on forecasts of factors that will be necessary to create thriving communities in the 21st century. The capstone project, which will reflect the student-developed proposals for change, will be presented to community and university leaders on May 11, 2009. Binghamton University Course
