Welcome back to Innovatus, the magazine of the League for Innovation in the Community College.

Community colleges have a long history of not only addressing current local, regional, state, national, and international needs, but of having courage enough to do so in ways that break the mold. Rather than continuing to offer the same programs, which may or may not be effective, we carefully think through and implement solutions that can take students into the future.

In this issue of Innovatus, the League highlights innovative ideas and efforts that demonstrate community colleges’ essential role in progressively effecting change. In these pages, readers will

• Learn about new revenue streams for community colleges;

• Consider how thinking like an entrepreneur can foster innovation;

• Explore how to accelerate innovation at their college;

• Learn about a model to increase student success through experiential learning;

• And more …

The League for Innovation encourages you to use the information offered in this issue of Innovatus to further your institution’s efforts to address societal and workforce needs by thinking differently across programs, departments, campuses, and institutions.
