Facilitating University-Industry CollaborationPromoting student innovation and entrepreneurship:</span><span style="font-size:small11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At Morgan State University remains highly interested , our leadership circle has dug deep and found that students have aspirations and dreams of starting their own businesses. The Morgan State Landscape Canvas provides sufficient amount of programs and seminars to get students on campus aware of entrepreneurship and innovative thinking. The issue on campus is students don’t feel empowered enough to voice their opinions. There’s a lack of interdisciplinary spaces that let students from different backgrounds come together and collaborate ideas and projects. The labs and facilities in working our school although mostly open to get collaboration all, only a few students know about the resources. Morgan State is an HBCU, a school with Industry projectsstrong culture and traditions. The company must trust students here have different ways of learning and progressing within the student body academic curriculum. We need to develop an effective approach to get students involved and gear them towards an innovative mindset. There have had been recent updates to the courses offered that focus on starting and growing a prior relationship with business, even offering students the schoolincentive of potentially receiving money to go towards their venture. AlsoDuring it's initial offering there was a high response, it is hard for companies indicating that students are very interested in the opportunity to promote work that doesn’t remain top secretapply the knowledge they are receiving.</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2.

The President, Dr. None David Wilson, has voiced his support on the I&E movement; “I am truly excited with the less, MSU innovation culture that is working engulfing the campus and want to build relationships with companies do everything I can to support and encourage it”. Encouraged faculty will subsequently strengthen the innovation and entrepreneurship mindset in the teachers’ students. The vision will be able shared and students will start to open up opportunities like thatunderstand what it's all about. For example, Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker helped promote a joint cooperative agreement Archibald, from the Earth Sciences Division of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. MSU Social Work Department, has been working hard stated that this movement is very important to promote more opportunities like thesehim, and obtain more has some ideas on how to speed up this movement. Keeping in mind that Morgan State is an overall commuter school, we should make resources accessible for all students with hours that are convenient for all. Most of the near futurecommuter students have heavy schedules and are balancing full-time work schedules while having part-time or full-time course loads.The faculty will be a big part of this movement, because they can help articulate and help voice important student issues.</span></span>

Actively supporting the university technology transfer function:''' The Office of Technology Transfer here at Morgan State University is a key tool that supports all entrepreneurs and innovators that have copyright needs or patents. They support all faculty and students that partake in research within the labs and facilities. They focus on intellectual property issues that may be concerning an individual. The purpose of The Office of Technology Transfer is to serve as a fully integrated center, structured to manage Morgan State’s intellectual property, fulfill the university's federal obligations, interact with industry to commercialize university intellectual property, foster economic development, and ultimately increase Morgan State’s resources to support its strategic goals. This office needs to operate at its highest level at all times. The students and researchers need to know all the rules and regulations to take their creations and discoveries to the industry smoothly and properly, and with the help of the Office of Technology Transfer, Morgan State can accomplish that. The office also collaborates with other I&E centered programs across the state to provide the Morgan students with entrepreneurship and innovation trainings that will enable them successfully leverage on their innovations.</span> <br /><br /><span style="docsfont-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-internalweight: 700; font-guidvariant-809f18afnumeric: normal; font-8857variant-c551east-5ce4asian: normal; vertical-5c77585eb078align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4.

Morgan provides a few options to students who need help making the transition into the industry. The Center for Entrepreneurship and Strategy focuses on supporting start-up entrepreneurs in getting the right advice and helping with longevity and success. There are various stakeholders that are big believers in inclusive entrepreneurship and are committed towards finding resources for young entrepreneurs and training. The Earl G. Graves Business Building, host a variety of academic programs and research centers that promote entrepreneurship learning through industry collaborations. One of such collaborations is the Morgan and Bristol Myers Squibb partnership that is committed to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, the recently established Innovation and entrepreneurship center (Bears Innovate) serves as a regional center of excellence that aims to address disparities in business ownership rates and entrepreneurial success among people of color.
