The Encompass Distinction
New program cultivates student skills and mindset in innovation and entrepreneurship
Value-added program
Enhances experience
McDaniel’s newest academic program, The Encompass Distinction, is a combination of courses, events, networking and experiential learning aimed at honing student skills and mindset in innovation and entrepreneurship.
Made possible with the generous support of Dennis Sisco ’68 and Alexine Lesko through The Sisco Fund for Enterprise Management, Encompass fits neatly into any major and features courses that fulfill other McDaniel Plan requirements, which allows students to pursue the distinction without taking additional credits. The program was designed in direct response to what today’s students want in their college experience.
