About Innovative Education

Innovative Education serves as a catalyst to foster innovation, enhance the student experience, cultivate faculty success, create revenue opportunities for colleges, and empower USF to thrive in this transformative era of education. As a result, students of all levels are empowered to excel academically and achieve lifelong success.

We’ve cultivated a culture of yes, driven by an entrepreneurial mindset that is not afraid to take a calculated risk. We view challenges as opportunities and approach every initiative with collaboration, creativity, and a focus on solutions. When we fail, we learn, iterate, and move forward with curiosity and a steadfast commitment to transforming education at every level.

Join us on the journey of innovation as we shape the future of education together.
