Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship
On a large scale, facilities to promote the increase of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus are lacking. In recent years, however, Oakwood University has developed into an innovation friendly space. Thanks to Julian Waddell, Entrepreneurship as a minor with select entrepreneurship classes have been incorporated into the School of Business and Information. Moreover, across campus, administration has implored to think outside the box and create new ideas for the running of the school. Unfortunately, not much innovation is actually seen in practice, and is still on the very steady increase.
As it relates to entrepreneurship, several students across campus start their own businesses to help facilitate the their tuition payments, and to get a head start for their future careers. Though this practice is not discouraged by faculty or administration, it is not forcefully encouraged as it relates to business support and guidance.
