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 our school has are exclusive and only a few know about the resources. Morgan State is an HBCU, a school with strong culture and traditions. The students here have a different ways of learning and progressing within the academic curriculum. We need to develop an effective approach to get students involved and gear them towards an innovative mindset.</span></span>

Morgan State University Landscape Canvas

(Canvas 2014)Campus Landscape Canvas (Updated Canvas 2015)

The University Technology Transfer Function

Office of Technology and Transfer

The OTTR assists faculty and staff members, administrators, and students with intellectual property issues resulting from their reearch discoveries, and other scholarly and creative activities. It exists to foster the creation of innovative technologies and to manage those technologies and other intellectual property for the benefit of the university and the public. The OTTR provides assistance on such issues as patent applications, registering trademarks and copyrights.

University-Industry Collaboration

Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research (GESTAR)

Gestar logo rgb.jpg

A multidisciplinary team of Morgan State University scientists, under the leadership of Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker, successfully won a joint cooperative agreement from the Earth Sciences Division of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) worth nearly $96M, the largest federal contract in the institution's history. Through funding, the MSU component of the GESTAR Program began in May 2011. This program brings more than 40 established and internationally recognized scientists to MSU and creates broad research and internship opportunities in earth and atmospheric sciences for students. 

Extreme Science Internship

The Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI) at Johns Hopkins University and Morgan State University announce a collaborative educational program called the Extreme Science Internship Program. This program is designed to provide a bridge between Morgan State science and engineering undergraduates and Johns Hopkins University, as well as fourteen other major research institutions and a large group of technology companies. HEMI addresses the fundamental issues associated with materials under extreme conditions, such as those developed during impact events. Our specific aim is to improve the human condition by providing government, industry and national institutions with science-based tools for designing materials for extreme environments. An endeavor as ambitious as this requires a collaborative effort across the nation’s top research institutes.



Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts

Patuxent Environmental & Aquatic Research Laboratory (PEARL)

Research conducted at the PEARL facility located near the Patuxent River is designed to increase the understanding of coastal ecosystems so that they may be properly managed and protected. Much of the work is focused on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, such as the Patuxent River.

New Business School

Morgan State University has just opened a new and modern Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management building. The building contains hotel rooms, large kitchens for hospitality majors, Bloomberg terminal, and more. This building so far has allowed the campus to gain outsider attention. In under a year there has been multiple business that have hosted major events in the beautiful building.
