School:Loyola University Maryland

Loyola University Maryland is a Jesuit Catholic university committed to the educational and spiritual traditions of the Society of Jesus and to the ideals of liberal education and the development of the whole person. Accordingly, the University will inspire students to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world.

Overview

The evergreen campus is a liberal arts university located in Baltimore, Maryland.  Surrounded by a diverse and booming environment the potential for innovation and creativity is high.  However, as of present, the resources for such ventures on Loyola’s campus is limited.  Creative space for design thinking, prototyping, and research is almost non-existent on the campus, except for limited lab space reserved for the engineering students.  Some courses are offered in the entrepreneurship and innovation field but expansion and improvement is needed.  As the first group of University Innovation Fellows on the campus we are excited and motivated to change these aspects.  With many creative and inspired minds on campus these resources would benefit students across disciplines and majors.  The current resources on campus are outlined below.
