The University of Notre Dame UIF team consists of four Biological Sciences majors striving to assess and improve the innovation and entrepreneurship landscape on campus. Our UIF training has led us to analyze courses, clubs, workshops, competitions, programs and more that are aligned in the quest to galvanize the innovative and entrepreneurial thinking on campus. By conducting such a thorough investigation, we now may realize deficiencies and work to fill in these gaps, create infrastructure to connect disjointed efforts, and reach more students with the hope of generating a higher level of creativity.
