Faculty members know the importance of their role in helping students develop the required skillset to truly go forth into the world. Their responsibilities span a broad range of categories that directly influence students on campus. From course and curriculum development in the classroom to club and event involvement, as well as continual research and publishing as part of their tenure, the faculty are involved and invested with the students at Brigham Young University. As part of the campus ecosystem to promote innovation and entrepreneurship, faculty members have played a critical role. Most recently, as of Fall 2018, the Design Thinking Minor is offered to provide interdisciplinary coursework in design thinking and innovation. Other faculty contributions and involvement include the Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, the Ballard Center which focuses on innovation especially in the social sphere, and the Creativity, Innovation, and Design Group. Although the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus could extend beyond its current reach, faculty involved in the existing programs certainly provide needed mentorship and support to students. == Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function == &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Text goes here for para 3&lt;/span&gt; == Facilitating Universtiy-Industry Collaboration == Though BYU has focused on developing their innovation and entrepreneurial resources on campus, regional and local sources are growing and offer enormous potential for students in Provo. Product Hive and Front Utah offer training and mentoring to managers and designers and are perfect for students trying to break into the business industry. The Silicon Slopes area spans from Provo to Salt Lake City to Park City and is one of the fastest growing technological regions in the world. The Slopes are home to hundreds of startup companies, several of which have grown to be “unicorns,” valued at over a billion dollars. The proximity and growth rate of new and innovate companies make Silicon Slopes an excellent resource for BYU students looking to gain innovative and entrepreneurial experiences. == Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts == From our research, it does not appear that BYU actively connects with any organizations seeking to develop the local economy. While the UIF program notes that many campuses have an economic development office to leverage university research and development for a positive local economic benefit, BYU has not created such a program. Connection to local economic development groups appears to be the most significant gap in our campus overview report, but perhaps a future relationship with the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development could change that and begin a new chapter at BYU. &lt;br/&gt;''Written by'' &amp;#x5B;&amp;#x5B;Dallas Anderson|Dallas Anderson&amp;#x5D;&amp;#x5D;, Rachel Merrill, Ashley Paget, Gabe Walker &amp;#x5B;&amp;#x5B;Category:Universities&amp;#x5D;&amp;#x5D;</div>
