****Students can discuss startup ideas, problem-solving and design thinking
= Strategic Priorities <br/> = == Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship<br/> ==
Students who wish to engage with the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem both on and off-campus (or who simply wish to learn more about entrepreneurship) have a wide variety of resources available to them. Among these include student clubs, specific classes, on campus organizations, on campus events, supportive academic departments, and access to external organizations. There has been a growing administrative interest in student entrepreneurship with the passing of an Assembly Bill which created additional funding. Interdisciplinary collaboration is an ongoing effort though, as well as further encouraging true student-run efforts (which could be aided by the addition of more independent project opportunities for students, more opportunities to talk to individuals outside of one’s college, more bio lab training for STEM students, and more hands-on coding opportunities).
