McGraw-Hill/Irwin Innovation in Entrepreneurship Pedagogy

The Entrepreneurship Concentration in the College of Business at San Francisco State University (and Connie Marie Gaglio, Co-Director of the Ohrenschall Center for Entrepreneurship) was awarded the McGraw-Hill/Irwin Innovation in Entrepreneurship Pedagogy Award by the Entrepreneurship Division of the Academy of Management.

The award is given to recognize innovations that advance the understanding and teaching of entrepreneurship at the college and university level. Particular consideration is given to those innovations that can be transferred to other entrepreneurship programs worldwide.

The award committee reported that SFSU's program merited the award because of the:

• conceptual framework for the entrepreneurial process that is used consistently across the courses and internships.
• level of input the Bay Area entrepreneurial community had initially in the design of the curriculum and continues to have in program assessment.
• variety of ways used to assess the program's effectiveness.
• number of topic modules and materials available to share with other entrepreneurship programs.

The award was given August 6, 2002 during the Entrepreneurship Division's business meeting at the Academy of Management's annual convention which met in Denver, Colorado.
