<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">Tuskegee University is a place deeply rooted in history and heritage. It is one of the top producers of black engineers, recipients of doctorate degrees and veterinarians. Founded in 1881, Tuskegee University has a legacy of excellence in learning, a leading role in the advancement of colored people. However, it has been lacking in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship in educating its students. This lack will be corrected with the initiation of the innovation and entrepreneurship movement (IEM) led by a team of students and faculty, through collaboration with APLU ([http://www.aplu.org www.aplu.org]) , [[NCIIA]] , and [[University_Innovation_Fellows_ProgramUniversity Innovation Fellows Program|University Innovation]].<br/></span>
