Twitter Facebook Wariness welcomed Gerry Fine four years ago when he was named to head Innovate@BU, an ambitious incubator for students’ cutting-edge ideas. “Our skeptics assumed that we would simply focus on tech start-ups emanating from engineering [students] and Questrom School of Business,” Fine recalls. Having a College of Engineering professor of the practice of mechanical engineering in the driver’s seat probably reinforced that impression. But the feared parochialism never happened. Collaborating with Blake Sims, Innovate@BUsocial ventures program director, Innovate@BU has guided Terriers from across the University to develop their ideas, such as RefEd, an app with course instruction for refugee students lacking educational materials.
