Furthermore, as of right now, Loyola does not have the capability to harbor a small business development center for the surrounding community. Some steps are being made to try to change this, however. For example, Loyola's center for community, service, and justice is trying to work with local groups to help better the Baltimore community. Another program called Baltipreneurs Accelerator is helping Loyola students innovate and create a more equitable Baltimore community. Programs such as these are starting to engage more with the Baltimore community, but there is still more work to be done to engage with regional and local economic development efforts.</span></span></span>

Such a relationship would be extremely beneficial for students on the campus looking for design space and materials.&nbsp;More connections with mentors and networking in the area, especially with companies that encourage innovation, start-ups, and entrepreneurship, need to be made as well. We recently introduced a Maker's Space in our library, where students are able to access a variety of creative materials, including but not limited to sewing machines and a messy cart. We also hired a director of the University's new Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The appointment of this faculty member will help give students the tools to be agents of change.</span></span></span>

Another tool that has been utilized is the Handshake app. This app helps students make connections with outside industries and helps them find jobs. Another resource is the career center. This organization helps students work on their resumes and find jobs, therefore facilitating university-industry collaboration.</span></span></span>

Another program that promotes faculty innovation and entrepreneurship is the Hauber program. This is a program that faculty members can partner with a student to conduct research over the summer.  This opportunity allows staff members and students to collaborate and produce new research. This allows for the progression of innovation and entrepreneurship for the staff and students alike.</span>
