Changes

Faculty play a large role in Penn State's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Many faculty commercialize their own research and turn them projects into successful business ventures. Other faculty members choose to act as mentors for students and help nudge students towards the path of entrepreneurship.  There are three endowed chairs of entrepreneurs who can be found in the [https://agsci.psu.edu/support/impact/endowed-faculty College of Agricultural Sciences], [https://www.smeal.psu.edu/fcfe Smeal College of Business ], and [https://www.sedtapp.psu.edu/eship/index.aspx School of Engineering Design], Technology, and Professional Programs.
