She also received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2000 and the Innovative Teaching Award in 1996. Streeter’s research interests include: models of entrepreneurship education, the role of entrepreneurship and small business in economic development with special focus on information technology and market coordination, evaluation of collaborative approaches to small business training, and the relationship between scientific R&D and market research/strategy and the effectiveness of business training and planning for start-ups. As director of the Entrepreneurship Education and Outreach Program (EEO), she contributes to the extension functions of the college through programs related to business planning for agricultural and food-related enterprises. The e-Clips collection represents a major project of Streeter’s -- the development of educational materials built on a database of digital video interviews with entrepreneurs from across the country. The video material is cut into clips by topic and used in a multi-media format to teach entrepreneurship and small business management. Streeter holds a M.S.

She is a member of a university wide program in entrepreneurship, the Entrepreneurship and Personal Enterprise Program (EPE). |
