The Evergreen campus is the main undergraduate campus. Surrounded by a diverse and booming environment the potential , we are in a perfect location for innovation innovating and creativity is highchanneling creative problem solving. However, as of present, the resources for such ventures on Loyola’s campus are limitedbut growing. Creative space for design thinking, prototyping, and research is not established yetin the process of being built&nbsp;<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, except for limited lab space reserved for sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">—&nbsp;</span>the engineering studentsmajor one being a whole building dedicated to Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Some courses &nbsp;We have just created an I&E minor and are offered in the entrepreneurship and innovation field but expansion and improvement is neededcontinuing to make strides to increase opportunities available to students. With multiple cohorts of University Innovation Fellows on campus, we are excited and motivated to improve these aspects features of our campus.

Encouragement for students pushing them to pursue take initiative in I&E needs to be strengthened. The current cohort of Fellows team is are looking forward to improving thiscontinue the legacy of the past cohorts and to improve on the innovative future of Loyola.
