To celebrate National Innovation Day on February 16, the College Innovation Alliance (C.I.A.) invites YOU to put your creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving skills to the test in a one-of-a-kind scavenger hunt!
GET STARTED!
Help Shape the Future of CSM.
Do you have a great idea for how to improve the college or the student experience?
Is there something missing that would support you in your education?
This isn’t just about big projects, or shiny objects; it’s about simple changes, led by the people who know this place best—you!
See how ideas submitted through Hawk Pitch are transformed into innovation at CSM.

In 2020 a group of faculty and staff teamed up with the hopes to make CSM better by developing a creative-safe platform where students, staff and faculty could dream up ideas on ways to improve how we live, learn, and work. This platform came to be known as Hawk Pitch. That group of faculty and staff is the C.I.A.
