Changes

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=gBT0_xUoVcY}}

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows at Morgan State University are unique because our team is composed of individuals who have different backgrounds and experiences creating an abundance of ideas and perspectives. &nbsp;The team’s goal is to help bring about a change that the students want to see, and also help raise awareness and understanding of the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation. Morgan State offers many useful resources but they are either limited to certain majors or most students simply do not know they exist. Our goal is to make all labs, workshops and development centers accessible to every student.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This premier urban innovation center will foster creativity, improve entrepreneurial skill sets, and increase interdisciplinary collaborations. It will include a&nbsp;skills lab for learning hard skills. Weekly&nbsp;tech tutorials and workshops will also be given in this space.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1.&nbsp;&nbsp; Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows plan to bring a Product Development Center to Morgan State University. This center will be a makerspace which allows students to develop prototypes. Morgan is home to many great ideas and wonderful entrepreneurs but students do not have a space to make those dreams come to fruition.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #1-'''The provision of an Introduction to Business course for STEM majors will heavily attract the interest of these students who feel they just have to get the A's&nbsp; to become well rounded</span>.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #3- '''Building an incubator for students who have personal projects they would like to pursue in line with technological innovation. This environment will aid the students to build a creative mindset which may be the seed of "The Next Big Thing."</span>

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Morgan has stated that it will "support innovation in business and the commercialization of intellectual property through growing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, securing an increased number of patents, and establishing a technology transfer center to support the creation of new business and technology transfer enterprises"</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Morgan has stated that it wants to "explore public/private collaborative relationships with developers, contractors, and other commercial groups and entities to develop new environmentally-sustainable and technologically-advanced administrative and student residential facilities, to expand Morgan’s physical presence throughout the state, and to promote the state and the Morgan brand."</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #2: Redefining the terms of the intellectual property rights outline by Morgan State University:'''</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium">Students are eager to build new technology and make changes, but as individuals who have work hard though using the resources of the college would like to believe that in the 21st century students can still receive recognition for their work. A proposal is that "any potentially patentable inventions belong to the university, and royalties are split between the inventor, his/her department and Morgan State University (1/3 each). For undergraduates, the IP is theirs, unless their work has been supported by research funds, or they have made use of shops, labs and other Morgan State University property more than incidentally."</span>&lt;/span&gt;
