Maryland is home to 5 HBCU's: '''UMES''', '''Coppin State College''', '''Suorjourner-Douglass College''', '''Morgan State''', and '''Bowie State University''' (6 if D.C.'s '''Howard University''' is included). Working in a collaborative effort to create an innovation and entrepreneurship ecosytem amongst ourselves would be an excellent strategic move not only for UMES but all the schools listed above. Students would be able to visit and see what other students are working on and doing in the ways of entrepreneurship and innovation as well as share any new ideas. By succeding in this effort the HBCU community will have more bargaining chips in the way of funding and be heard nationally.
== #7.Departments to introduce senior year mandatory design project as a requirement before graduation. ==
All departments at the university to introduce capstone mandatory design projects as a requirement for graduation. This will send students on a design veture exercise, which in the end will result in not only successful completion of the degree program, but also a potential business model. It successful business partners and innovators across the country to be invited and intergrated in the program,to offer leadership and connection.This program should be discussed and hopefully rolled out as by Spring 2016.
