Solomonalolga: University Innovation Fellow at BC

[[File:Solomonalolga.jpg|frame|Solomonalolga.jpg]]

I am very passionate about entrepreneurship and technology. At berea, i am a fellow of the Entrepreneurship for Public Good, a pretigious program that trains student entrepreneurs on campus to work on strategies to develop solutions to the most pressing needs of the Appalachia region.  On campus, i am also involved with Enactus, formerly called Student in Free Entreprises(SIFE) and served as the president  from 2013  to 2014 academic year. 

I am very excited to be apart of the University Innovation Fellowship program. I hope that i would gain valuable knowledge and get to hear the stories of other student entrepreneurs and how i can create an ecosystem on campus that encourages students to get involved in entrepreneurship and innovation on campus.

So far, I have performed a landscape analysis  of  82 organizations, tools and resources  in Kentucky for student entrepreneurs and partnered with the computer science department to launch an innovation & entrepreneurship lab on campus
