\n Carleton University\u2019s Innovation Hub focuses on inclusion through partnership with CUSA\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Students from across the university will have the opportunity to help shape entrepreneurship and social innovation on campus because of a new Memorandum of Understanding between Carleton\u2019s Innovation Hub and the Carleton University Students\u2019 Association (CUSA).<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our main goals is to embed a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at Carleton \u2013 and to tackle societal issues through it\u201d said Harry Sharma, director of the Innovation Hub<\/a>. \u201cWe want to do this as inclusively as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Located in the Nicol Building, Carleton University’s Innovation Hub provides a full range of programs, support and resources for students across campus to develop creative solutions and enterprises that address global and community issues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He added that by hearing from a wide array of students representing diverse communities they will learn about the barriers they face, the issues important to students, and how best to reach out to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with CUSA and leverage their expertise to make new connections across the university.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUSA<\/a> is Carleton University\u2019s largest student association whose members are elected by the student body and represent close to 30,000 undergraduate students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adil Tahseen, CUSA\u2019s manager of services, said this partnership will help to build relationships with diverse communities, engage with marginalized students, and connect with students from all walks of life.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cBy having folks in a room that may not typically find themselves together, we aim to create discourse, discussion and growth,\u201d said Adil.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As a first step, the Innovation Hub Student Advisory Council has been formed to give students a platform to share the global and social issues that are important to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to learn more about the issues that our students care about so that we can work with them to tackle them,\u201d Harry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Student Advisory Council is comprised of student leaders of CUSA\u2019s service centres. These centres serve marginalized student groups, including students who are Indigenous, racialized, international, LGBTQ2S+, and are living with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cOur partnership is providing students with a voice, the ability to share their ideas, or identify gaps they see in their community,\u201d Adil said. \u201cIt is also providing CUSA and the Innovation Hub with advice on how to support those communities better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
