What We Do:
Shawnee State University has the mission to prepare today’s students to succeed in tomorrow’s world. Located in Southern Ohio, we are a best-value university offering a wide range of high-quality signature programs. The Kricker Innovation Hub is a flagship building currently undergoing renovation to feature a digital makerspace, a community event space, a coworking space, and a digital and immersive technology focused accelerator program.
What’s a Trend You’re Seeing/Prediction for the Future:
Virtual Reality technology will have a breakout moment in E-sports.
Keeping pace with span-of-career learning for working professionals will be increasingly important as technology continues to evolve at breakneck speed.
Covid-19 has forced many businesses to complete long overdue digital transformation projects - the next challenge for rural communities is helping main street businesses take these steps.
A Problem/Challenge We Are Working To Solve:
The Shawnee State Game Design program is ranked among the top ten programs in the country by the Princeton Review. This interdisciplinary program has roots in both computer science and the fine arts, and the SSU Kricker Innovation Hub is realizing the entrepreneurial potential of our talented students to make Ohio a destination for gaming and E-sports.
