==== Howard University Institute for Entrepreneurship Leadership and Innovation ==== In December 2003, Howard University was one of eight institutions selected by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in a nationwide competition to receive a multi-million dollar grant as part of its Kauffman Campuses Initiative to develop an entrepreneurial climate across campus. The program seeks to transform the way entrepreneurship is taught and experienced so that any student, regardless of their field of study, will have the opportunity to participate. With matching support from Howard University and other partners, the Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Innovation Institute (ELI) was created and has worked diligently to enhance existing programs and establish new ones in four major focus areas: academic programs; research; business and community development; and entrepreneurial thought. <br/><br/>'''ELI Mission:''' To provide the skills, tools and orientation required for entrepreneurial development and success in the African American and minority communities with particular emphasis upon the provision of educational opportunities for all of our stakeholders. = Facilitating UnivrtsityUnivertsity-Industry Collaboration =
