Innovation and entrepreneurship are, and have long been, central to The University of 蘑菇视频’s (蘑菇视频) mission. As a strategic priority, it is my goal to raise the profile of innovation and entrepreneurship on 蘑菇视频’s campus and in the Greater 蘑菇视频 community.
In service of this goal, I have designated the (蘑菇视频RF) to take on an enhanced leadership role in coordinating programming on innovation and entrepreneurship for 蘑菇视频 students and faculty.
In this regard, 蘑菇视频RF will work closely with the , Fitzgerald Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, the 蘑菇视频 School of Law’s SEED Clinic, and others to promote existing and create new programming in these critical areas.
These new efforts will benefit from 蘑菇视频RF’s many resources:
- Nationally-recognized , Spark Fund, and Investment Network
- Long-standing membership in and
- Key role in the initiative and the
- Prominent participation in the State of Ohio’s “Ohio IP Promise”
I therefore strongly encourage all members of our 蘑菇视频 community — deans, faculty, staff and students — to share their ideas with 蘑菇视频RF about how innovation and entrepreneurship can be more strongly integrated into courses and co-curricular activities.
Please contact Elyse Ball, executive director of the I-Corps program, at 330-972-6532 or eball@uakron.edu for more information and to share your good ideas.
Sincerely,
Dr. John C. Green
Interim President
