Changes

= Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Campus =

Students showcase their involvement in entrepreneurship through three key student organizations: Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization, American Marketing Association, and Student Entrepreneurship Startup Organization. In addition to these opportunities students now have access to the Prototyping Club at UWM, which was founded in the Spring of 2017. This club focuses on using design thinking and the innovation process to create projects as a club, or encourage individual inventions. The Prototyping Club helps to oversee the Makerspace in the Engineering Mathematics and Science Building at UWM, and many of their projects involve the space or using the tools in it. The Business School hosts the Scheinfeld Entrepreneur Fund, which is another business plan competition and they provide seed capital for promising student startups. The other major initiative is the campus wide, multidisciplinary, collaborative Student Startup Challenge, that helps students formulate teams in hopes of developing a prototype and launching a business. This challenge also provides seed capital to budding student entrepreneurs.
