Overview
Since the establishment of South Plains College (SPC) the focus of the university has been the betterment of the student. While many aspects of life has changed since 1957, the college's focus has not. Increasing the capacity of the individual to learn, produce, and be enlightened has always been the focus. To be the first community college in the history to participate in a program such as the University Innovation Fellows Program is something that they gladly welcome.
South Plains College has continued to grow adding satellite campuses including; Reese Technology Center, Bryon Martin Advanced Technology Center. Innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) are nothing new to the campus but have yet to have a catalyst to grow this culture of I&E. With it's roots firmly planted in the sense of community, South Plains College is centered on changing for the needs and opportunities of the community. Grants and contracts are available to students and faculty in order to pursue projects and research.

Strategy #1: Planting the Seeds - Introducing "I&E @ SPC"
Tactic #1: Get the People Excited!
Getting the proverbial "ball" rolling will be the most difficult part of the process. Having access to the I&E market located only thirty miles East of Levelland in Lubbock gives the students a head start. Bringing three day startups such as 3DS to South Plains College will open students eyes to the potential of expanding their thinking.
Tactic #2: Get the People Involved
Creating an organization were likeminded students can come and collaborate together will be vital to the establishing a culture of I&E at South Plains College. Being a two year(transfer) college presents a new challenge to the University Innovation Fellows Program due to the fact that the turnover rate is so high. Getting incoming freshmen involved within the first year will be the make or break challenge. Finding several students who will be willing to facilitate this change over a three to four year process.
