== Overview<br/> ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif">  <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">   Clark Atlanta University is a comprehensive, private, urban, coeducational institution of higher education with a predominantly African-American heritage. It offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees as well as certificate programs to students of diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The University was established in 1988 through the consolidation of its two parent institutions, Atlanta University (1865), the nation's first institution to award graduate degrees to African Americans, and Clark College (1869) the nation's first four-year liberal arts college to serve a primarily African-American student population.  </span></span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline">      Although Clark Atlanta University is in the early stages of developing an entrepreneurial ecosystem we do offer a few entrepreneurial opportunities. The School of Business at Clark Atlanta University makes great efforts to encourage entrepreneurship efforts of the students. Established within the Clark Atlanta University curriculum, freshman students as well as graduate students are exposed to entrepreneurship through the course which we look to establish across disciplines. Students also participate in various pitch competitions in which they prove their capabilities of establishing a working business model necessary for successful startup. The University also has a Shark tank competition this year which should inspire students and raise the profile of the innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives being enacted by both the UIF members and the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.The development of programs such as LEADWeek, which has a UIF candidate as its Co-chair, has provided students with the opportunity to receive input on the development of self. Moving forward, the primary goal of the team is to integrate the departmental silos on campus in order to usher in a new ecosystem which embraces collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship. We are very optimistic that we will be successful at raising awareness and participation throughout the course of this school year.</span></span>

== Active Support in the University Technology Transfer Function<br/> ==

'''The CAU Office of Technology Transfer (T2)-''' is responsible for managing the protection and licensing of CAU discoveries with potential commercial value.

This collaborative will build off the momentum that was established by the 2013 HBCU Innovation Summit held at Stanford University that was co-organized by UNCF, the NSF-funded National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter) and the Stanford Center for Professional Development.

== Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration<br/> ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Lead Week '''-is an annual event sponsored by the School of Business which raises awareness in the areas of entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, social media, mass media, innovation and alumni affairs.

In addition, over 500 companies participate in the AUC career fairs to recruit students as well.

By using intellectual property law to protect discoveries with potential commercial value, our office can hopefully encourage interested companies to invest the resources necessary to turn an early stage academic discovery into a commercial product.

'''IP Consulting-  '''Cynthia Parks and Collen Beard are the IP staff on hand to assist students through the process of protecting and developing their ideas and inventions.

'''Faculty Research Council- '''“The Faculty Research Council advises the Vice President Research on matters involving research infrastructure, maintenance of equipment, start-up support for faculty and in general support of standing up a more robust research enterprise at Clark Atlanta University”.

== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

'''HBCU Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaborative- '''The HBCU Collaborative is a cohort of 15 public and private HBCUs that are committed to participating in a multi-year collaboration that will foster innovation, commercialization and entrepreneurship on their respective campuses to improve student success by implementing new institutional courses, transforming faculty pedagogy and creating partnerships with government and private industries. This collaborative will build off the momentum that was established by the 2013 HBCU Innovation Summit held at Stanford University that was co-organized by UNCF, the NSF-funded National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter) and the Stanford Center for Professional Development.

== Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration<br/> ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Lead Week '''-is an annual event sponsored by the School of Business which raises awareness in the areas of entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, social media, mass media, innovation and alumni affairs. The event bridges the gap between the industry and the University.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium">'''Corporate Visits'''- There are approximately 25 visits to the School of Business annually to recruit top talent. In addition, over 500 companies participate in the AUC career fairs to recruit students as well. However, the school is working on developing relationships with organizations that are interested in research, innovation and entrepreneurship to enhance the scholastic CAU experience.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: larger;">Currently, Clark Atlanta University is developing a strategic plan for the development and implementation of entrepreneurial innovation across disciplines. Building on the current infrastructure the establishment of workshops, lecture series, and special topics courses will provide faculty with the tools needed to pursue entrepreneurship within the marketplace. Encouraging faculty to pursue SBIRs, STTRSs, and development of grant proposals is necessary to the development of sustainable revenue for the University. We are currently reviewing our policies and developing a technology transfer office which is necessary to bridge the gap of innovation and commercialization at Clark Atlanta University. Recently, the University has created the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, with David Duncan spearheading the initiative as the Director. In addition, Clark Atlanta University has started the design of its first Innolab which is slated to begin serving students in late February. By implementing the platform set forth by the initial leadership circle while continuing to grow this group to a larger pool of innovators will set in motion sustainable economic development.</span>

<span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">Although Clark Atlanta University is in the early stages of developing an entrepreneurial ecosystem we do offer a few entrepreneurial opportunities. The School of Business at Clark Atlanta University makes great efforts to encourage entrepreneurship efforts of the students. Established within the Clark Atlanta University curriculum, freshman students as well as graduate students are exposed to entrepreneurship through the course which we look to establish across disciplines. Students also participate in various pitch competitions in which they prove their capabilities of establishing a working business model necessary for successful startup. The University also has a Shark tank competition this year which should inspire students and raise the profile of the innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives being enacted by both the UIF members and the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.The development of programs such as LEADWeek, which has a UIF candidate as its Co-chair, has provided students with the opportunity to receive input on the development of self. Moving forward, the primary goal of the team is to integrate the departmental silos on campus in order to usher in a new ecosystem which embraces collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship. We are very optimistic that we will be successful at raising awareness and participation throughout the course of this school year.</span></span>
