Strategic Pitch
Expose more STEM students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Tactic #1-The provision of an Introduction to Business course for STEM majors will heavily attract the interest of these students who feel they just have to get the A's to become well rounded.
Tactic #2- Introducing a Campus Discovery concept called Morgan Konnect where students will be able to view and leverage the Morgan State University Landscape Canvas to Discover,Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin out.
Tactic #3- Building an incubator for students who have personal projects they would like to pursue in line with technological innovation. This environment will aid the students to build a creative mindset which may be the seed of "The Next Big Thing."
Increase Student-Driven Commercialization
Morgan has stated that it will "support innovation in business and the commercialization of intellectual property through growing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, securing an increased number of patents, and establishing a technology transfer center to support the creation of new business and technology transfer enterprises"
Tactic #1: Local Tech Collaboration with incubators such as ETC Baltimore and accelerators such as Juxtopia:
Morgan has stated that it wants to "explore public/private collaborative relationships with developers, contractors, and other commercial groups and entities to develop new environmentally-sustainable and technologically-advanced administrative and student residential facilities, to expand Morgan’s physical presence throughout the state, and to promote the state and the Morgan brand."
Local partnerships will expose students to industrial and entrepreneurial skills through projects designed by members of the local tech community.
Tactic #2: Redefining the terms of the intellectual property rights outline by Morgan State University:
Students are eager to build new technology and make changes, but as individuals who have work hard though using the resources of the college would like to believe that in the 21st century students can still receive recognition for their work. A proposal is that "any potentially patentable inventions belong to the university, and royalties are split between the inventor, his/her department and Morgan State University (1/3 each). For undergraduates, the IP is theirs, unless their work has been supported by research funds, or they have made use of shops, labs and other Morgan State University property more than incidentally."</span>
