Renovating the underutilized center for student success room in the library to include more rolling white boards (mobile furniture is currently available in the space) would provide a visual representation of student ideas and projects. This would be a small investment and could be considered a short term goal. 

=== Tactic 2 ===

==== Developing A Student Space : Makerspace (long - term goal) ====
A maker space equip with fast prototyping machines would give students the opportunity to produce tangible goods that started as a concept. This project would increase the interest of all students particularly Science and Math students. However, an investment in this project has the ability to serve as a student ran enterprise.  a creative space where kids and teens are immersed in state of the art digital technologies, from Virtual Reality Video Game Design to 3D Printing. A maker space encourages creativity with technology, enabling our members to develop proficiencies in a sampling of the very latest hardware and software available. We could give them both the tools and the knowledge to explore and master important new skills that traditional schools aren’t able to offer.

'''Founded in 1962, the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) lies in the heart of the beautiful Caribbean. Although UVI is located in one of the most popular vacation spots in the world, it offers far more than just sun, sand, sea and palm trees. The UVI experience is uniquely multi-cultural, international, entrepreneurial and intellectually stimulating. UVI provides a vital and exciting environment for educating future leaders of the global 21st century community.'''

= Overview =
<div>[[File:Uvi.jpg|frame]] 
A university surrounded by clear, blue waters, the University of the Virgin Islandsis historically American, uniquely Caribbean and globally interactive. With approximately 2,500 undergraduate and graduate students, UVI focuses on producing students who are able to lead nations, perform efficient research and serve the world with the help of their balanced, globally sensitive minds.  Learning experiences such as global partnerships and student exchange programs allow students to grow both mentally and spiritually. This gives students a sense of well-roundedness that is needed as they strive to be professionals in the real world.

= Academic and Certificate Programs =

== Entrepreneurship Minor ==

The minor in Entrepreneurship is offered to all UVI students regardless of their degree program. The program is designed to supplement any other degree with a focus on the fundamental skills of entrepreneurship covered in six courses or eighteen total hours. Entrepreneurship education will prepare the student with the tools and experiences necessary to explore the role of new venture creation and growth within their primary discipline. The minor is equally accessible to non-business students through the creation of a set of four, one credit hour, online concept courses that provide maximum flexibility to any UVI student wishing to pursue the minor.

== Certificate in Entrepreneurship Program ==

UVI offers a certificate in proficiency in entrepreneurship to allow participants to deeply explore a specific aspect of entrepreneurship.  The program is open to all UVI students regardless of their degree program.  Non-matriculated students from the community are also welcome to participate.

== 13-D Entrepreneurship Competition ==

[[File:13-D.jpg|thumb|13-D.jpg]]
<div style="text-align: justify;">The student entrepreneurship competitions were made possible by a $5 million gift to UVI frominvestment strategist and entrepreneur Kiril Sokoloff, the founder of 13D Research on St. Thomas. The gift supports 13D Student Entrepreneurship Competitions, a Distinguished Professor of Entrepreneurship Endowed Chair and the Entrepreneurial Speaker Series at UVI. The first college-level 13D Student Entrepreneurship Competition concluded in May, 2012. The first presentation in the speaker series was made in March by acclaimed business woman and philanthropist Loida Nicolas. The 13-D Competition is sponsored by Innovative Companies, which has made a significant long-term commitment of $50,000 a year to support the entrepreneurship effort.</div> [[Category: Universities]]
