The most paramount issue plaguing Villanova’s campus is the reputation of innovation and entrepreneurship. As a school that in many ways encourages the traditional path of education, graduate schooling and entry into the corporate world, many people do not respect the seemingly eccentric and unproductive façade that covers the world of innovation. Measures need to be taken to show students on campus, from nurses to business students, engineers to scientists, that innovation can help them progress professionally and personally to wherever they plan to be in the near or distant future. The way that this can be done is first through the transfer of knowledge. Innovation, as a mindset, a tool, or a method, will gain respect with the creation of an Innovation Council Board that can operate in tandem with the Villanova Entrepreneurial Society. The council can publicize under-appreciated events and opportunities at Villanova, as well as create their own. The innovation ecosystem can be further united through the creation of a comprehensive Entrepreneurship Minor Program, and the birth of a maker space on campus, in which students of all disciplines will be able to collaborate. Through these few methods, the terms and activities associated with "innovation" and "entrepreneurship" will lose their stigma and become more vibrant on campus, creating lasting changes that will effect thousands.

The Idea Accelerator is a brand new facility that is starting to be more utilized by students accross all disciplines. There is space and equipment for entrepreneurs to design whatever paper napkin idea that they have designed. During the weekends there are workshops and speakers to help interested students discover what they can gain from and what they can give to innovation and entrepreneurship. We hope to create more of a response and awareness at these events, bringing heavier crowds into the ICE Center. This area will help future innovators gain the knowledge and practice to make their ideas realities. With such a new building, it is necessay to make this resource known amongst the student body.
