== Faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==
The university offers great resources to enable faculty entrepreneurship. Faculty are allowed to participate in nearly all of the programs run by <u>CNVE</u> which enables them to be introduced and educated in entrepreneurship, and there are numerous institutions that provide commercialization of research.
The <u>May’s Business School Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship</u> provides undergraduate and graduate certificates for entrepreneurship. They support student entrepreneurship as well as faculty and the local community with competitions and lecture series to inspire and educate.
