Lyndsie Guzek’s Participation in the Experiential Classroom Program
Lyndsie Guzek, the Business Program Director at West Virginia Northern Community College, was selected among 75 global educators to participate in the Experiential Classroom—a three-day professional development clinic focused on entrepreneurship education held at Florida State University.
The clinic aimed to share innovative teaching methods and meaningful hands-on experiences related to entrepreneurship. Guzek had the unique opportunity to teach a case study to Florida State students and gather feedback, enhancing her teaching approach.
Guzek has been pivotal in expanding entrepreneurship education at Northern, notably through the establishment of the Jack E. Cisney Business & Entrepreneurship Center, which provides students with practical business operation experiences. The center, located within the historic B&O Building, operates as a student-run apparel business, involved in various aspects of business management from marketing to budgeting.
Comments from both Guzek and her colleagues highlight the commitment at Northern to experiential learning. Guzek expressed excitement about bringing new ideas back to the college and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in students.
The Experiential Classroom is a collaborative initiative, jointly offered by several universities, including the University of Notre Dame and the University of Florida, aiming to enhance entrepreneurship education globally.
