The center serves as a link between our CSUN business students seeking experience solving the real world challenges facing small business, and our business "Clients" seeking to utilize the College resources. The Wells Fargo Center not only welcomes the community to campus to partake in activities, but also believes in providing students with "real world" opportunities. By sending students and faculty to entrepreneurial conferences, fairs, and organization meetings, we build recognition for the Center while granting students access to new horizons and networks. One of the Center's primary functions is to create meaningful opportunities among students, faculty, and the business community to network and exchange their ideas, knowledge, and experience in small business and entrepreneurship. We encourage the participation of CSUN alumni and other successful entrepreneurs to serve as guest lecturers to a class, as speakers or panelists at Center events, as judges for business plan competitions, and as mentors to students and nascent entrepreneurs. The Wells Fargo Center encourages and supports research in the academic and applied areas on small business and entrepreneurship.

= Encouraging faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship =

Faculty and doctoral graduate students conduct the research powering many of the innovations that spawn high-growth startups. However, even at our nation’s most entrepreneurial universities, many faculty and graduate students do not always consider the market and societal relevance of their research. To address this issue, universities are putting in place a series of policy changes to encourage more faculty entrepreneurship, which in turn will complement the student entrepreneurship. These changes include greater recognition of faculty entrepreneurs, integrating entrepreneurship into the faculty tenure and selection process, and increasing faculty connections to outside partners - through externships, engagement with business, and targeted resources for startup creation. Finally, universities are actively working with federal agencies to address some of the regulatory challenges around faculty entrepreneurship, in particular, those related to conflict of interest and national security issues.

Diegov129:

[[File:DiegoVilchez.jpg|thumb]]Diego Vilchez is a University Innovation Fellow from the Spring 2015 cohort. Currently a Senior Manufacturing Systems Engineering student which will be done in May 2015. Serves as the Vice President of Society Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) chapter at California State University, Northridge. In this organization we emphasize in community service and providing Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) awareness to every community. Diego has also been acquiring some industry experience as former quality engineering intern and planner & currently a product development engineering intern. The jobs are helping Diego a lot in teaching and having experience in real engineering from the concept of business. At the moment, Diego also plays a big role in my senior design team as we are currently in the making of our Hybrid Layered Manufacturing 3D (HLM3D) machine which will have both fuctions as a CNC mill and a 3D printer. This will be our prototype which we will compete this semester against other schools. Finally, Diego decided to take a role as a University Innovation Fellow because Diego knew it was meant to be since the start in the sense of innovation and entrepeneurship due to the fact that a lot of people are not exposed. Diego's goal is to exposed as many people as he can on these topics and to never feel fear on what people's instincts are saying.

*'''Description:'''Bringing awareness to all students on I&E and making it accessible around the campus. Exposing this reliable center to any one who is interested in innovating or becoming an entrepeneur by having mentors/professors who would help by guiding them on the right steps. Mentors will adress assistance by teaching them valuable stories and personal lessons. Promoting the annual event "Arts of Innovation" to everyone and emphasizing planning by sending e-mails, text messages, social media posts, blogs, posters, flyers, and writing on college newspaper in order to maximize attendees. 
*'''Milestones''': 

#Reaching out to the person who is in charge (Dr. Jimmy Ghandi) of this center '''January 2015'''

#Sending out bi-weely or monthly updates on the events/workshops to everyone who is listed as AOI attendees '''August '''2015

Strategy #2: Creating & Designing a Maker Space

*'''Description''': Having a big room and large capacity for people to be creative within their own imagination. This room would contain modern machines that relate to additive & subtracting manufacturing, arduino softwares for programming, and 3D softwares.

*'''Milestones: '''

#''''''Discussing ''''idea with chair, dean, and other entities where we can all brainstorm and agree on a few things; '''April 2015'''''
#Pitch out our ideas and objectives of this "Makers Space" to the entities'''; June 2015 '''
#Implementing a location, designing a 3D model of it, and knowing the capacity of this room; '''December 2015'''
#Having a cost analysis of this room to show all entities; '''January 2016'''
#Taking a survey of all students to know their input on the Maker Space and whether or not they will benefit from it; '''Janaury 2016'''

1.Ernie Schaeffer Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship:

The mission of Center shall be to promote and foster engineering innovation and entrepreneurship activities in education and applied research, and in alliances that facilitate engineering, technology, and business partnerships.

We help CSUN students, faculty members, alumni, and community members access educational programs, team building and networking events, facilities for making prototypes, technology transfer services, and funding organizations, and form technical and business partnerships (2)
 
2.Wells Fargo Center for Small Business & Entrepreneurship:

The center serves as a link between our CSUN business students seeking experience solving the real world challenges facing small business, and our business "Clients" seeking to utilize the College resources.

The Wells Fargo Center not only welcomes the community to campus to partake in activities, but also believes in providing students with "real world" opportunities. By sending students and faculty to entrepreneurial conferences, fairs, and organization meetings, we build recognition for the Center while granting students access to new horizons and networks.

One of the Center's primary functions is to create meaningful opportunities among students, faculty, and the business community to network and exchange their ideas, knowledge, and experience in small business and entrepreneurship. We encourage the participation of CSUN alumni and other successful entrepreneurs to serve as guest lecturers to a class, as speakers or panelists at Center events, as judges for business plan competitions, and as mentors to students and nascent entrepreneurs.

The Wells Fargo Center encourages and supports research in the academic and applied areas on small business and entrepreneurship. The Center facilitates faculty and student research and academic activities through funding research costs, conference travel, and library materials.(3)

Diegov129: California State University Northridge, Manufacturing Engineering Student

[[File:DiegoVilchez.jpg|thumb]]I'm a Senior Manufacturing Systems Engineering student which will be done in May 2015. I'm currently the Vice President of Society Hispanic Professional Engineers chapter at California State University, Northridge. In this organization we emphasize in community service and providing Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) awareness to every community. I have also been acquiring some industry experience as former quality engineering intern and planner & currently a product development engineering intern. My job is helping me a lot in teaching me and have me experience real engineering in the concept of business. At the moment, I also play a big role in my senior design team as we are currently in the making of our Hybrid Layered Manufacturing 3D (HLM3D) machine which will have both fuctions as a CNC mill and a 3D printer. This will be our prototype which we will compete this year against other schools. Finally, I decide to take a role as a University Innovation Fellow because I know it was meant to be since the start in the sense of innovation and entrepeneurship due to the fact that a lot of people are timid on it. I have a goal which is to exposed as many people as I can on these topics and to never feel fear on what their instinct is saying.
