The following spreadsheet outlines specific resources that Yale has for furthering entrepenuership and innovation on campus broken down into the following categories: Make it a priority; So, you want to learn more; You want to apply your knowledge to a specific project; You have effectively engaged in I&E; You have fine-tuned your understanding of I&E and reframed your approach to your education and career. Each of the categories is necessary at different stages of a students path to entrepenuership. Yale has many resources, and this document's goal is to characterize Yale's landscape and identify our strengths and weaknesses.
