IVE YEARS AGO, WESTMINSTER COLLEGE CREATED<br />
PIN, THE PRESIDENT'S INNOVATION NETWORK.<br />
President Bassis recognized that new programs and ideas<br />
would often fail to get the support they needed if they had<br />
to compete for support in the kind of zero-sum game that relatively<br />
static departmental budgets create. If, however, he had access to funds<br />
that were outside the normal tensions of the budgetary process, he<br />
could support the development of creative approaches to enriching<br />
the educational experience Westminster offers.<br />
That is precisely what PIN has done for five years. This report identifies<br />
new projects the president wants to support and documents the<br />
success that PIN programs have had in the <a title="PIN_Fall10.pdf page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/791913e2?page=1"> The President's Innovation Network </a>
