Changes

While Florida State University is a research university, there is no research occuring at it's its Panama City campus.  The impact that research has to on a campus is substantial, as student interns gain experience in innovation through discovering new insights into their field.  Furthermore, research strengthens major-related skills, which are important in many studentstudents's entrepreneurial businessbusinesses.  This is a feature I believe is incredibly important in establishing a student's confidence within himselfor herself, which will translate into the courage to pursue and create a business.

The Florida State University, Panama City, can may find a professor who may might wish to pursue research on campus.  This research opportunity would should be open to undergraduate students, which would give them relevant experience in their field, as well as the willpower to innovate. 

Certain majors, particularly Computer Science, could participate in research over a long distance.  Other majors could perhaps accomplish distance research, utilizing internet communications and repositories to share information and discoveries.  This is not the ideal option, but either option will fulfill the establishment of such an important resource for on our campus.

There are many local businesses that could offer experience to prospective students at the Florida State University, Panama City.  These locations could provide workshops and other experience experiences to students in their respective fieldfields, strengthening that students a student's skillset and enabling a student to bring their personal projects to completion.  The Florida State University, Panama City has not yet made any steps toward pursuing a co-educational relationship with these businesses, which is a great underutilization of local resources.
