= <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">CAMPUS OVERVIEW</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rowan University provides an Office of Technology Commercialization. This Office centers around student and faculty research in engineering, pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, and life sciences. At Rowan, research is one of the centers of innovation. The Office of Technology Commercialization connects this research to unmet marketable needs in industry. It is responsible for creating a collaboration between labs at Rowan University and industries in the marketplace.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span><br />

This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />

= <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">CAMPUS OVERVIEW</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rowan University provides an Office of Technology Commercialization. This Office centers around student and faculty research in engineering, pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, and life sciences. At Rowan, research is one of the centers of innovation. The Office of Technology Commercialization connects this research to unmet marketable needs in industry. It is responsible for creating a collaboration between labs at Rowan University and industries in the marketplace.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span><br />

This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div>Antonia Nuzzolo is a University of Innovation Fellow and an undergraduate at Rowan University. She is currently a junior with a double major in Entrepreneurship and Marketing with a concentration in honors. She is very involved in the Rohrer College of Business. Antonia is the Vice President of Membership for the Collegiate Entrepreneur's Organization, the Society for the Advancement of Managers, and the American Marketing Association. She loves meeting new people who want to get involved and enjoys mentoring them and teaching them how to be leaders. Her roles in these clubs include gaining new members, gathering data about the members, publicizing the events, and acting as a liaison&nbsp;between clubs when they collaborate. Another important role she plays on campus is her involvement as a member of the Screening Committee for the Rowan Innovation Venture Fund. This is a $5 million fund directed by Howard Lubert, the founder of Keiretsu Forum, a<span style="color: rgb(84, 84, 84); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">&nbsp;global angel investor network with more than 2500 accredited investor members throughout 46 chapters on 3 continents. She is one of the first students to be a member on the board. Antonia also started with her best friend the Honors Book Group which meets biweekly to discuss assigned books. This month the group is reading ''The Girl on the Train ''by Paula Hawkins.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(84, 84, 84); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Antonia has a vested interest in spreading entrepreneurship and innovation on Rowan's campus. She works with her fellow UIF teammates, Hatch House Ventures (a new entrepreneurship program in the business school), and influential faculty at Rowan to identify problems and discover solutions. One of the most important problems she wants to fix on campus is the lack of women in entrepreneurship. Ever since her start at college, she has noticed the prevalence of men being the majority in classes. She thinks there lies an opportunity at Rowan to encourage more women to take business and entrepreneurship classes. This is one of the problems she aims to improve during her time at Rowan.</span><br />

Antonia is thrilled to be a part of the University of Innovation Fellowship program. She has grown immensely and learned so much about design thinking and problem-solving. She loves and works well with her teammates Brandon Graham, Kayla Callaway, and Melody Tashjian. She is excited to change Rowan's campus for the better next semester with the UIF project.&nbsp;</div>Antonianuzzolohttps://universityinnovation.org/index.php?title=Fellow:Antonianuzzolo&diff=40314Fellow:Antonianuzzolo2016-10-21T01:44:07Z<p>Antonianuzzolo: </p>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span></span></span><br />

This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div>= <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">CAMPUS OVERVIEW</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;">Actively support tech:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span></span></span><br />

This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals.

<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span></span></span><br />

This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div>= <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">CAMPUS OVERVIEW</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />

<div>= <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">CAMPUS OVERVIEW</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;">Actively support tech:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span></span></span><br />

This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div>= <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large;">CAMPUS OVERVIEW</span> =<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; white-space: pre-wrap;">Actively support tech:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-a652f31c-df18-9c8f-d354-5055f48e5312"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Rowan Innovation Venture Fund, co-founded by Howard Lubert, is a University based $5 million private-equity fund. This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.</span></span></span></span><br />

Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Rowan University is continually forming direct relationships with a lot of industries particularly in the South Jersey/Philadelphia region but also nationwide. Through an innovative curriculum with the incorporation of “Engineering Clinics”, students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding. Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.</span></span></span><br />

This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner.

<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />

<div>= <span style="font-size:xx-large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">CAMPUS OVERVIEW</span></span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Rowan has thankfully attracted many new faculty members over the years who place a great importance on entrepreneurship and innovation. Just recently, Dr. Sue Lehrman joined the College of Business as the new dean. Dean Lehrman has influenced the school to invest in entrepreneurship-generating programs, including Hatch House ventures, led by President Steve Boerner. Steve brings with him years of experience in the world of startups. His program helps educate students about entrepreneurship, runs business model and plan competitions, and provides incubation and mentorships for all students on campus. Rowan is moving toward a more entrepreneurship-oriented focus, although there is still work to do. Dean Lehrman said, upon accepting her position, “With a new building under construction, and a heightened focus on entrepreneurship and innovation across the curriculum and the institution, the College and University are poised to uniquely hone their value proposition and to seize on an extraordinary opportunity.”</span><br />
