The Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship named Dr. Earvin Balderama, Dr. Monique Bell and Professor Aaron Schuelke as Johanson Entrepreneurship Faculty Fellows for the 2022-23 academic year.

The Johanson Entrepreneurship Faculty Fellows Program provides support for faculty to incorporate entrepreneurship into the curriculum of new and existing courses. The fellowship program particularly focuses on developing curricula in areas that have not traditionally focused on entrepreneurship and innovation.

The newly named Johanson Fellows are developing innovative entrepreneurial curricula in several areas:

Dr. Earvin Balderama, an assistant professor of mathematics, is designing a new course titled “Statistical Learning and Consulting,” a team-oriented and project-based class in which students will work together to provide statistical solutions to real-world problems.

Dr. Monique Bell, an associate professor of marketing, is creating a new course titled “Creativity and Entrepreneurship,” which will provide students from various disciplines with the opportunity to learn about processes and practices that foster the in-demand skill of creative thinking.

Professor Aaron Schuelke, an assistant professor in the film and media arts program in the Department of Media, Communications and Journalism, will infuse elements of entrepreneurship into an existing course titled “Narrative Filmmaking.” The course will focus on the business side of the film industry, which is a crucial element of the filmmaking process.
