Doctor Fiona Black is also launching a program for certification in "creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship" to provide students from all faculties with the ooportunity to add entrepreneurship to their degree. The Nova Scotia Agricultural Sandboxcertificate name starts with the word "creativity" because it is a ver neutral word where students from all faculties can see themselves doing. It comprises of both for-credit courses and extracurricular work that students have to do in order to be accredited with the certificate. It is a greatinnitiative to allow students to achieve work a little bit outside of their field and allow them to bring their bright ideas and pursue them.</span></span>
