Gary Shaheen contributes to book about the impact of Scholarship in Action
Gary Shaheen G’86, Burton Blatt Institute (BBI) at Syracuse University senior vice president, is a contributing writer of a newly published book that explores Syracuse University’s Scholarship in Action model and the resulting impact on the local community.
Academic Entrepreneurship and Community Engagement: Scholarship in Action and the Syracuse Miracle (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2011), edited by SU Associate Provost for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Bruce Kingma, is broken into three engaging sections.
The book introduces appraisals of technology entrepreneurship and community engagement; community engagement and entrepreneurship; and entrepreneurship, engagement, and new models of education.
Shaheen authored a chapter on Inclusive Entrepreneurship, and he co-authored, with Entrepreneurship Professor Mike Haynie, another chapter on entrepreneurship for veterans. Shaheen, in the final section of his chapter, includes analyses of services for entrepreneurs with disabilities and an innovative program that connects university students to provide assistance.
Academic Entrepreneurship and Community Engagement: Scholarship in Action and the Syracuse Miracle is well suited for both students and scholars, as well as for all those invested in pursuing innovative, progressive avenues of community engagement.
