<span id="docs-internal-guid-401692f1-7fff-28b4-0ed3-058bdbe4feb0"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Marshall University is located in Huntington, West Virginia. With new leadership on campus, including President Brad D. Smith, the future for innovation and entrepreneurship is bright. Marshall University would like its students to create the next Uber or Facebook, but understand that they first must teach the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and innovation. Within the last 7 years, Marshall University has created an Entrepreneurship major and minor offered through the Lewis College of Business. In 2018, Marshall University's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (iCenter) was created. The iCenter serves as a maker space where students, faculty, and community members are able to prototype and start their own podcasts. The iCenter has four Entrepreneurs in Residence that serve as mentors for any student at Marshall. The Brad D. Smith Incubator class, which has operated since 2021, allows students to start a business while receiving mentorship along the way. A organization on campus that helps promote entreprenuership is Delta Sigma Pi, which is a coed business fraternity that supports growth in leadership and getting hands on experience in various fields of business. At Marshall University, students have the unique opportunity to be apart of the change occurring on campus and in Huntington. While we may still be establishing our entrepreneurial and innovative efforts, we are creative and scrappy, and most importantly, we are Marshall!</span></span>
