Charge:  In Spring 2019, the Innovation Mindset Task Force was convened to consider how to integrate elements of the innovation mindset throughout the JMU curricula. The resulting report, delivered in May 2020, notes that although faculty and students already engage in pedagogy and other activities that develop this mindset, these activities are not always acknowledged as such. The report recommendations intend to connect and strengthen work already occurring across the curriculum to foster a distinctive JMU ChangeMaker brand that sets our graduates apart in the 21st century.

Building upon these recommendations, the ChangeMaker Mindset Implementation Task Force is charged with pursuing the three tracks of Building Infrastructure, Supporting Existing ChangeMakers and Long-term Programmatic Integration to incorporate and sustain the innovation mindset learning objectives across the JMU student experience.
