<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Elon currently offers a major and a minor in entrepreneurship through the Doherty center, which prepares students to become entrepreneurs in either for-profit businesses or social businesses. While this helps, it is not enough. The business school alone seems to have a monopoly on entrepreneurship and there is not enough interdisciplinary application of design thinking and innovation. Our promotion of I&E seeks to inspire students to create and change the world around them in a variety of majors, requiring widespread faculty support and appeals to creativity that match all kinds of students.In addition to the Doherty Center, one of Elons newest additions, Sankey Hall, opened its doors as the hub of innovation at Elon in the fall of 2018. Acting as a "Think Tank" the new addition to Elons campus is an incubator for student and falculty build apon the growing changes at Elon University. </span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Many faculty members within Elon University are very innovative and entrepreneurial in the way in which they approach their independent research projects and publications. Staff memebers are encourgaged to complete research and to offer students the opportunity to work alongside them. Professors A key component of Elons booming sucess is the small ratio of students to professors in each class, allowing a more intament relationship between students and their circulum. As a result of this, professors often reach out to students about research opportunities that believe might interest them. While the reseach itself is encouraged, students and community memebers often remain unaware of the accomplishments of the faculty as it is rarley shared commercially. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In order to encourage our faculty members to continue being innovative and entrepreneurial we must reward them for what they are already doing and find ways to share their finding with the community as a whole. </span>
