Another program that promotes faculty innovation and this field needs entrepreneurship is the Hauber program. This is a program that faculty members can partner with a student to be expanded in order conduct research over the summer. This opportunity allows staff members and students to promote I&Ecollaborate and produce new research. This allows for the progression of innovation and entrepreneurship for the staff and students alike.</span>

FurthermoreWe recently introduced a Maker's Space in our library, as where students are able to access a variety of right nowcreative materials, Loyola does including but not have the capability limited to harbor sewing machines and a messy cart. We also hired a small business development center director of the University's new Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The appointment of this faculty member will help give students the tools to be agents of change. Another tool that has been utilized is the Handshake app. This app helps students make connections with outside industries and helps them find jobs. Another resource is the surrounding communitycareer center.This organization helps students work on their resumes and find jobs, therefore facilitating university-industry collaboration.</span></span></span>
