=== '''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship''' ===
'''[[File:University Portland logo.png]]'''
~At the University of Portland we are promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation through a variety of different programs and extracurricular activities~  

There is an Entrepreneurial Scholars Program, which is comprised of a competitively selected group of undergraduate students and teaches the fundamental skillsets of developing a business model, pairs students with a local mentor related to their field, and offers domestic and international travel opportunities to learn about conducting business in diverse markets. Students are responsible for creating a new business venture or social enterprise, as well as implement innovative products and delivery models for these organizations. Every year we also hold a 100k Competition, where students are able to pitch their ideas and ventures to a group of investors for the possibility of receiving funds to support full-scale launch. Students also travel to Colorado for a national elevator pitch competition.

We have constructed a brand new [https://www1.up.edu/franzcenter/innovation.html innovation] maker-space in the school of business where students can pursue their innovative ideas.

The Technology Entrepreneurship Certificate combines theory and practice in an environment where academics are balanced with real world experience. Diverse cohorts are comprised of technology entrepreneurs from various fields and current students in Portland-area PhD, MBA, and JD programs. Over the course of a year, students will participate in and experience the entire spectrum of the commercialization process, starting with invention and product development, to technical and market feasibility analysis, through intellectual property acquisition and business planning, and culminating with venture funding and product launch.This highly regarded interdisciplinary program, jointly delivered by the University of Portland and Oregon Health & Science University, is designed for people with a passion for successfully turning ideas into ventures. It is particularly suited to those with backgrounds in science, engineering, or management and an interest in developing new business units from technology based intellectual property.

A national letter from UP and other U.S. universities supporting the “Maker Movement” was sent to President Obama. The movement celebrates Americans who use new tools and techniques to launch businesses as well as those who learn vital skills in science, technology, engineering, and math.

The University has just implimented a one year biomedical masters program. They are continuing to be innovative by looking at other masters programs such as implementing an entrepreneurial master’s program. 

We also have recently introduced the Leadership Certification Program, which is available to any student of any major that wishes to enhance their skills in working with teams, as well as how to direct others in an efficient and respectful way. This program was just recently implemented.

In order to further promote Innovation & Entrepreneurship at UP, we have recently launched the Dean's Innovation Challenge and attracted 8 interdisciplinary teams. This challenge was successful for a year but has since stopped and it now trying to be revitalized.  Additionally, The School of Engineering modified their core curriculum to allow students to take 9 semester credits of Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and/or business courses for academic credit.  This is just the beginning of the innovative revolution occurring on the University campus -- change is slow but expect more to come!!!

=== '''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship''' ===

Qualities that are becoming more important to the Deans in hiring staff members is a innovative willingness and nature. While innovation is encouraged all over campus, there is not a strong connection between students and professors for implementation. The process of innovation is slowly becoming more prevelant at the University of Portland. Steering committee comprised of faculty from all 5 schools in the University created to develop and lead innovation programs.  Professors are becoming more aware of opportunities to become innovative themselves as well as to get students more involved. 

=== '''Actively supporting the university technology transfer function''' ===

The University's tech transfer policy is currently being reviewed and revised, in order to make it more friendly to student and faculty start-ups and industry partnerships.

=== '''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration''' ===

Senior Engineering teams are able to work on projects from the local business community, both start-ups and larger firms. The entrepreneurship/innovation advisory board at the University is made up of entrepreneurial and innovation firm management. The E-Scholars program also allows for students to be pared with mentors from the community to refine their ideas and help make it happen.

=== '''Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts''' ===

Staff and faculty regularly are engaged with Portland Development Commission, OHSU ED, Business Oregon (State) and have collaborated on several studies and reports.  Student involvement in these activities is anticipated to begin next year. The MECOP program is also growing at the University in order to split engineers senior year into two years and add in two 6 month internships with local companies.

Jeremy Revlock was born in San Francisco and grew up on the Stanford Campus and other parts of Palo Alto, CA. He spent his [[File:Jeremy Revlock.jpg|thumb]]days playing sports and blowing glass. As time went on, he started wanting more money to pursue more exciting adventures so he started working as a freelance glassblower making custom creations for anyone and everyone who appreciated his work. This process caused him to fall in love with business and working with people to create the progeny of their dreams. Now he is a marketing student with a passion for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (EI) at the University of Portland. Aside from being a UIF candidate, he is also an officer for the EI club at the university and getting to work with amazing like-minded people to create some really game changing events and product. When he is not doing any of that however, you can most likely find him racing his car, surfing, snowboarding, or rock climbing.

This challenge was successful for a year but has since stopped and it now trying to be revitalized.  Additionally, The School of Engineering modified their core curriculum to allow students to take 9 semester credits of Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and/or business courses for academic credit.  This is just the beginning of the innovative revolution occurring on the University campus -- change is slow but expect more to come!!!

=== '''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship''' ===

Qualities that are becoming more important to the Deans in hiring staff members is a innovative willingness and nature. While innovation is encouraged all over campus, there is not a strong connection between students and professors for implementation. The process of innovation is slowly becoming more prevelant at the University of Portland. Steering committee comprised of faculty from all 5 schools in the University created to develop and lead innovation programs.  Professors are becoming more aware of opportunities to become innovative themselves as well as to get students more involved. 

=== '''Actively supporting the university technology transfer function''' ===

The University's tech transfer policy is currently being reviewed and revised, in order to make it more friendly to student and faculty start-ups and industry partnerships.

=== '''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration''' ===

Senior Engineering teams are able to work on projects from the local business community, both start-ups and larger firms. The entrepreneurship/innovation advisory board at the University is made up of entrepreneurial and innovation firm management. The E-Scholars program also allows for students to be pared with mentors from the community to refine their ideas and help make it happen.

=== '''Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts''' ===

Staff and faculty regularly are engaged with Portland Development Commission, OHSU ED, Business Oregon (State) and have collaborated on several studies and reports.  Student involvement in these activities is anticipated to begin next year. The MECOP program is also growing at the University in order to split engineers senior year into two years and add in two 6 month internships with local companies.
