Wake Tech offers opportunities for all students to develop leadership skills that will serve them well, whatever their career pathway. Leadership workshops, mentoring programs, fellowships, community activities and more provide supportive environments in which students can explore their potential and grow in confidence and ability.
Eagle Innovation Challenge
Students can make a positive difference at Wake Tech by participating in an initiative designed to help them engage in social entrepreneurship and develop 21st-century skills. Students identify a problem to solve or a process to improve, contact an expert to research best practices and create an innovative proposal for change.
Students who complete projects through the Eagle Innovation Challenge (EIC), formerly known as Student Applied Benchmarking, can submit posters for the EIC Showcase during the submission window which runs from November 1- March 1. Our showcase event is held each April. The winner receives a $1,000 scholarship, and all participants will have opportunities to talk with college leaders about their ideas.
