Imagination Station

The U-Imagine Center for Integrative and Entrepreneurial Studies has had a mission: Empower students to think entrepreneurially in life, and make a living doing something they’re passionate about. Students have not only seen their own business ideas flourish, but have also helped local businesses with their own digital marketing initiatives. Read about the tangible outcomes that have been driven by a single idea … and the notion that anything is possible.
