The bulk of the undergraduate student promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship is occurring in the later stages of the entrepreneurial process, namely the application and venture forth stages, and is including primarily older at a much better succession rate compared to last year.

While the tools are there for entrepreneurs to realize their concepts and make them a reality , students are often sometimes unaware of the resources available to them, intimidated by the idea of entrepreneurship, uneducated in the basics of entrepreneurial efforts , or too strongly encouraged down the industry path to even consider entrepreneurship. This is an area which requires massive improvement on campus. Hackathons, TED talks and entrepreneurial workshops desperately need to be brought into Michigan State's culture while the The tools and accessibility of entrepreneurship needs need to be better marketed to the students starting early in their academic career. Efforts are currently being made to adjust the curriculum and add more inspirational programs to the university but much more work can still be done in the area.</nowikispan></span><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
