== Overview ==
The University of Saint St. Thomas is has three campuses: Minneapolis, MN, St. Paul, MN and Rome, Italy. The University of Saint St. Thomas is known for their engineering and business (including entrepreneurship) programsprogram and also for being an ASHOKA ChangeMaker campus. Although the university is not considered a research university, many students are involved in research alongside St. Thomas faculty and innovation-based classes.
== Student Entrepreneurship ==
Sample text <span style="font-size:smaller;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Students at the University of St Thomas have many opportunities to use their creativity to spark innovation and become student entrepreneurs. Departments like the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship and the School of Engineering use their resources to teach and bring in outside entities to inspire students to be successful entrepreneurs. There are many courses that cover the theory of innovation and the design process. Hands-on and interactive courses are staples of the business and engineering schools. Students are prepared to implement what they have learned into their senior capstone course - where each team must research, design and create a product for/with an outside company. Students can also explore entrepreneurship beyond the classroom. For example, students can enter the Fowler Business Challenge and participate in the student club Design for America. New this year, the TJ Bot Internet of Things Make-a-thon Event brings together entrepreneurs and engineers to design a cardboard robot with the mind of IBM's Watson. The Engineering Reverse Job Fair brings companies to the students, many of whom leave with internships for the following summer. The St. Thomas community nurtures students’ ability to think creatively and collaborate with each other. </span></span>
== Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-27332366-b8b6-86b2-c925-81af6057bb5f"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Saint St. Thomas is active in their research, although we are not a “research-focused institution.” This goes not only for students, but faculty as well. For example, Dr. Thomas, an engineering and entrepreneurship professor, is known for her unique research prompts - squishy circuits, food technology, and circus are just a few. She speaks to the fact that she is rarely told “no” for any of her ideas, and instead, is assisted by leaders in the University in dreaming up ways for her to accomplish her ideas. Although her ideas are not typical research topics, she is always allowed to create new projects and programs, not matter how seemingly “out there” they are. At St. Thomas, the faculty is encouraged to pursue their ideas, because the more opportunities to explore concepts translates to more opportunities for students to learn and grow underneath them, which is one of St. Thomas’s main goals of education.UST is also an accredited ASHOKA ChangeMaker campus. This means that at UST, we strive to connect the university to the community and to catalyze social innovation. We help individuals and groups; faculty, students, staff, and alumni; and campus and community organizations build networks and grow relationships in order to solve today's most pressing problems in out neighborhood and world.</span></span></span>
