Mission Statement
- City University of New York (CUNY) Trustees approved the proposal advanced by Kingsborough Community College to create a University-wide Institute for Virtual Enterprise (IVE) as a special CUNY initiative in May 2002.
- IVE is structured to meet the rapidly evolving needs of today's students who require active learning, including simulations and problem-based learning in a student-centered, student-led learning community, if they are to adapt to the rapidly changing world around them.
- CUNY IVE's mission is to enhance student engagement and success by building awareness in Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy, Leadership, and Environmental Preservation within a context of Sustainable Development.
- CUNY IVE is aware that the conflict between the twin societal imperatives of economic development and environmental preservation can be resolved to the benefit of society through sustainable practices and that such a conflict resolution is necessary for the continued health and happiness of New York's inhabitants.
- CUNY IVE is actively pursuing the development of programs that foster such awareness among CUNY's more than 480,000 students and faculty.
- CUNY IVE initiatives are characterized by being student-centered and student-led, faculty facilitated instruction, providing opportunities for applying academic learning in new curricula constructs, technology-driven learning environments, and close interaction with private sector and community groups.
- To support CUNY IVE's program components, faculty development that transforms teaching, support networks and program dissemination strategies are developed and deployed.
