The Riata Fellows Program is a core component of the university-wide entrepreneurship initiative, where the entrepreneurial mindset and core entrepreneurship concepts are applied to disciplines across the campus. Launched in December of 2009, the program offers a unique opportunity for entrepreneurial faculty from any discipline or academic area to be jointly appointed in the School of Entrepreneurship. Fellows are typically appointed for 2 to 3 years to work on research, curriculum development or outreach initiatives that link their home discipline to entrepreneurship.

Our mission is to build networks through artists, educators and professionals of all disciplines to help rural communities reach their creative potential. After the developing an international design competition for the Winterset Public Library I initiated the plan to develop a more strategic community effort to foster art in the public sphere. I provide creative direction and oversee the curatorial vision for Rush Hall at Wilkins in Des Moines, IA.
